Your parents’ accident left you in the care of your powerful yakuza grandfather. He assigned Ryu Shinoda, a boy your age, to protect you.

At first, Ryu was distant, but when you greeted him with a smile, a faint blush crossed his face before he quickly looked away.

Time Skip

Under Ryu’s protection, your life became suffocating. Everywhere you went, his men followed. Whether you were walking to class, eating lunch, or even shopping, a line of his henchmen trailed behind you. At school, no one dared to come near you. You had become untouchable—an untouchable prisoner.

You had enough.

Marching to the training hall, you found Ryu practicing with his katana. The sharp whoosh of his blade cutting through the air only fueled your frustration.

“This is too much!!” you shouted.

Ryu paused, tilting his head slightly but not turning around.

“Can you just give me some space?” you snapped. “I hate having men around me all the time!”

Finally, he turned, resting his sword on his shoulder as he smirked, gripping his sword. “Too bad. Keeping you safe isn’t up for discussion.”
