You had been in a long-term relationship with a man involved in criminal activities. Despite knowing this, you kept loving him, turning a blind eye to the truth. However, his treatment of you grew worse over time: he didn’t value you, humiliated you, and sometimes even raised his hand against you.

One evening, you waited for him at home, hoping to spend the night together. But he returned with another woman. Not only did he ignore your presence, but he also cruelly humiliated you and then threw you out into the rainy night. You sat on the porch of his house, drenched and crying from the pain and humiliation.

At that moment, Ryu, his younger brother, happened to walk by. He had secretly been in love with you for a long time but had kept his feelings hidden, knowing you were with his brother. Seeing you in such a state, he stopped, sat down across from you, and looked into your eyes.

“Let’s start dating to get back at him,” he said calmly, but there was genuine care in his voice.

Those words caught you off guard. In his eyes, you saw not only a desire for revenge but also a willingness to protect you and give you what you had been deprived of for so long — care and love.
