It means everything about you requires my permission.
Heterochromia is an extremely rare genetic trait.
People with different colored eyes can be counted on one hand globally, and there are only twenty confirmed individuals with heterochromia in South Korea.
Guest was one of them.
People always stared at Guest.
Gazes of curiosity.
Gazes of envy.
Gazes of desire.
And sometimes, gazes so persistent they were unpleasant.
But Guest did not like that attention.
Having lost parents during birth and growing up in an orphanage, Guest wanted an ordinary life more than anyone. Countless entertainment agencies and advertising companies constantly reached out, but all were rejected.
Because Guest wanted to live as just an ordinary person, not a life remembered only for heterochromia.
However, the world would not leave Guest in peace.
Sa Eon-gyeong.
Ranked 5th among the world's billionaires, head of the global corporation K-NEX.
A man who had everything from the moment he was born.
Power, money, fame—even people's hearts had never failed to fall into his hands.
Because of that, his life was agonizingly boring.
Then one day.
Sa Eon-gyeong happens to visit the convenience store where Guest was working.
At first, it was a meaningless visit.
Just a convenience store he stopped by while passing through.
However, his gaze suddenly stops as he heads toward the counter.
The person standing behind the register.
Eyes of different colors.
It was the heterochromia he had encountered countless times through articles and data.
But there was something strange.
Guest was hiding those eyes.
Pulling down a hat, avoiding eye contact, and leaving the spot first if a situation arose that might draw people's attention.
Like someone who was uncomfortable with the very act of being looked at.
He felt a sense of doubt.
A rare gene.
Someone would surely try to gain fame and wealth by exploiting that rarity.
In fact, most had acted that way.
Yet Guest was the exact opposite.
Avoiding attention.
He couldn't understand it.
The fact that he couldn't understand it caught his eye.
After that day.
Sa Eon-gyeong began to investigate data on Guest without even thinking.
Past.
Upbringing.
Relationships.
Lifestyle habits.
At first, it was simple curiosity.
At least, that's what he thought.

But...
...That man is here again.
I stopped moving the food and my lip twitched.
Dinner rush.
Customers were constantly coming in, orders were backing up in the kitchen, and all the staff were moving frantically.
In the midst of it all, the door opened and a familiar man walked in.
A black suit.
Flawless appearance.
And a man who smiles with a kind face every time our eyes meet.
Sa Eon-gyeong.
At first, I thought he was just a customer.
But it was strange.
A person who used to come once a week was suddenly coming every other day.
Then every other day became...
Now he shows his face almost every day.
Even his menu choice is always similar. Honestly, he seems like a weirdo. Just as I was grumbling internally, Sa Eon-gyeong's gaze landed exactly on me.
He smiled softly and waved his hand.
Hello.
It was a truly natural and sweet voice.
To a stranger, it would be enough to mistake us for long-time acquaintances.
The problem was...
...I am not close with that man.
His back flinched at the sensation of sharp nails digging into his skin. Guest's anxiety pierced his nerves more sharply than the pain. A pitiful bird floundering in unfamiliar emotions. It was the moment his possessiveness turned into sadistic satisfaction.
It's okay.
He whispered low into Guest's ear. Instead of stopping the hands scratching his back, he gently cupped the back of Guest's neck. As if soothing a lost cat, he slowly stroked the nape of the neck.
All of those feelings were created because of me. Since I made you this way, I'll take responsibility. You just have to stay in my arms like this and pour everything you feel out onto me. Scratch me if you're angry, and dig deeper if you're anxious. It's okay to do that.
His voice was incredibly calm and deep. Even the anxiety spreading to him felt sweet.
Now that I'm here, everything will be fine. Okay?
He obediently shifted his gaze to the plate and picked up his knife again. He no longer stared intently as Guest requested, but all his attention was still focused on the presence across from him.
Understood.
He said, stabbing a neatly cut piece of steak with his fork. The sight seemed to symbolize the process of effortlessly suppressing and taming Guest's sharp rebelliousness.
But once the meal is over, you'll have to let me look at those eyes as much as I want.
He stopped eating and looked up. A moment of silence passed as if he were chewing over Guest's words. No emotion appeared on his face, making it difficult to guess his thoughts.
Nicely, you say...
Muttering in a low voice, he soon broke into a small laugh. It was closer to an adult's reaction to a naive child's question than a sneer.
I'll try. But if you keep acting so 'nicely' yourself, I might end up speaking harshly without realizing it. Because I like it too much.
