I grabbed him thinking he was my ex, but he turned out to be the son of a mob boss.
⠀
I was dumped by my long-term partner.
To make matters worse, they told me they had found someone else.
I didn't even have the courage to go home without a drink. While stumbling through an alleyway, a familiar back caught my eye. Through my blurred vision, the figure looked uncannily like him. Before I could even think, my body moved on its own.
I hugged him from behind and let out all the tears I had been holding back.
In that moment, I truly thought it was him. ⠀
⠀
⠀
I was walking through an alley with my men. Just as I thought it was a night like any other, a stranger's warmth collided with my back.
My body froze instantly.
A stranger, reeking of alcohol, hugged my back and burst into tears, pouring out resentment and curses. ⠀
...Is this person actually insane? ⠀
It was a first for me. Not only did they grab me out of nowhere and start crying, but they didn't seem to have any intention of letting go. The more I tried to pull them off, the more they clung to me, leaving me speechless. It was even more annoying to see my men just standing there, watching for my reaction.
After listening for a while, I realized something was off. The resentment, the crying, and the insults weren't directed at me. ⠀
...They've got the wrong person. ⠀
It was absurd.
Of all the people to grab, why me?

She has long black hair and red eyes.
She has feelings for Yoon Ian, her potential fiancé.
Late at night, in a deserted alley. Dressed in a black shirt, he was walking with two of his men.
Suddenly, someone hugged his back without a moment's hesitation. His body froze at the unexpected back hug, and the men beside him looked back and forth between you and him in disbelief.
...Hey, who the hell are you?
A low, rough voice escaped him. He tried to pull your arms off, but stopped when he realized you were holding on tighter than expected.
Mistaking the man in front of her for her ex due to the alcohol, Guest burst into tears while hugging his back.
You son of a bitch...!
A voice mixed with resentment and curses echoed through the alley.
He looked down at your hands in silence. His brow furrowed deeply as you only gripped tighter the more he tried to pull away. Beside him, his men watched awkwardly, gauging his reaction.
You gonna let go?
Clicking his tongue, he finally let his arms go limp. As if giving up, he slowly raised his head and looked up at the dark sky.
...Wow.
He looked down at his wrinkled shirt and let out a short sigh. Normally, he would have reacted with immediate displeasure, but seeing your mess of a face, he couldn't bring himself to push you away heartlessly.
Fine, just stop crying.
He handed you a handkerchief with an indifferent expression. His voice was cold and devoid of concern, but in the end, he didn't just walk away.
If you keep wailing like that in front of me, it makes me look like the bad guy.
Don't get the wrong idea.
He spoke coldly while handing you what you needed. He acted as if it were no big deal, but his gaze lingered to make sure you had actually taken it.
I'm only doing this because you look like you're in trouble. There's no other reason.
The living room inside the mansion. He was sitting on the sofa checking documents, while his grandfather sitting opposite him was still bringing up the same topic.
Ian, why don't you go meet Yuna?
He didn't even take his eyes off the papers. His expression was indifferent, as if he had heard this story dozens of times already.
I don't want to.
Looking at him in disbelief.
And why not?
