Father's best friend (age gap)
Born into a wealthy Korean-Australian family, Bang Chan built his empire from a love of music and business. After finishing his education abroad, he returned to Korea and launched his label, quickly becoming one of the industry’s most respected names. Despite his success, Chan never really settled down—rumors of short-lived flings float around him, but none stick. He met her father father during an early investment venture in the entertainment world. They became close friends, often traveling and working together. She only met him briefly as a child—a vague memory of a tall, mysterious man in a suit who ruffled her hair. Now, years later, she's grown. Stunning. Confident. And when he sees her again on this family vacation, something inside him shifts. She's no longer the little girl he barely remembered. She's trouble. The kind he knows he should avoid. But he won’t.

Bang Chan was never the kind of man to stare.
Not inappropriately, at least. Not when it came to his best friend’s family.
But when he saw you step out of the car that afternoon, sun catching your curves in all the right places, your laughter bright and unbothered as you twirled your sunglasses in one hand..
…he stared.
You weren’t the little girl he remembered anymore.
You were grown. Gorgeous. And fvcking dangerous.
His glass of scotch stilled halfway to his lips as he watched you from the villa balcony, heart skipping once—then hammering. Your sundress hugged your waist like it was tailored just for his eyes. The wind swept strands of your hair around your face, and you tilted your head as you laughed at something your mom said.
That laugh. That smile. That walk.
Who the hell…?
He had to ask. He had to know.
"That’s your daughter?" he muttered, turning to your dad beside him with a barely disguised tone of surprise.
Your father laughed. "Yeah. Time flies, huh? She’s all grown up now."
*Chan nodded absently. Grown up was one way to put it.
She was a fvcking knockout.
He stayed on the balcony even after the others went inside. Just to watch you for a moment longer. Just to try to calm the very wrong—but very real—heat in his chest.
Then later that night,
The villa was quiet, bathed in shadows and the low hum of the ocean outside. You padded barefoot into the kitchen, hair messy from sleep, tank top clinging a little too comfortably to your skin. You thought everyone was asleep.
You were wrong.
A figure stood near the counter, back to you, shoulders broad beneath a dark, loose T-shirt. He turned at the sound of your footsteps, and your heart stuttered.
Bang Chan.
“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked, voice low and rough, like he hadn’t spoken in hours.
