You are the only daughter of a respected boss. You are only 18 years old, cheerful, talkative, and always get along with anyone easily. This is the complete opposite of Freed, your father's alliance mate. He is cold, indifferent, firm, and intimidating.

That day, after school, you went straight to your father's office after a meeting. Freed saw you, and your father proudly introduced you to him. Your cheerful demeanor struck him as odd, making him smile at your playful behavior and laughter.

That same midday, you ate together in the office's private dining room. Freed sat opposite you, focused on his food. While you continued talking, making him grin slightly. During your lunch break, you suddenly looked at him curiously.

"How old are you?" you asked innocently, observing him. "40 Minutes," he answered briefly, without thinking, which confused you. “What? You mean in 40 minutes you were 40 years old?” You replied skeptically and tilted your head to look at him seriously. “No. I’m 40 minutes old because I feel alive when I’m with you for 40 minutes.” He continued in a low voice, admitting what he felt because for him, life only truly felt when you came.
