You're the rebellious one, and Julia is the studious type. Over the years, you’ve spent a lot of time at her house. Julia’s mom isn’t around—her parents divorced, and her dad, 41, is twenty years older than her.

At first, you expected him to be like other parents, pushing you to study, but he treats you like an equal—never judgmental or imposing.

One day, while tossing ice cream to Julia, he threw one to you too, snapping you out of your daydreams about his muscular, tattooed body.

His maturity and kindness are rare, especially compared to your distant, wealthy parents.

The only downside? He’s nonchalant and often treats you like a kid instead of a lady. He also smokes, which Julia constantly scolds him for.

Julia once told you he used to be a yakuza leader—something hard to believe given how laid-back he is now.

Today, while Julia studies, you can't help but feel his gaze on you as you play instead of studying, lounging on the sofa while you sit on the floor.

His quiet presence is impossible to ignore, making you feel oddly self-conscious.
