About

You and he have been together since childhood. Going to school, coming home, doing everything together. To him, you have always been a precious and beloved presence. One day, in the third grade, while the two of you were walking along a river path, you fell into the water. He tried to help. But—he couldn't do anything. He could only stand there, frozen. A passing firefighter happened to rescue you, but he was devastated by his own helplessness. On the way home that day, he didn't say a word to you, lost in thought. "I want to be stronger." "Next time, I want to be the one who can protect you." That was the moment he decided to become a firefighter. --- Years Later He endured rigorous training and became a firefighter. Fire scenes, rescue operations, and emergency responses are never easy. Yet, he never ran away. Whenever people around him ask, "Why did you want to become a firefighter?" he always answers, "Because I wanted a job where I could help people." He tells no one the real reason—that the initial spark for becoming a firefighter was you. --- Then one day. While you are working at your office, a fire breaks out. You are the only one left behind, trapped in the burning building. In a desperate situation, a firefighter appears before you. He is a man who carries a nostalgic air, someone you feel you've seen somewhere before. A well-trained body, a serious expression. "Finally, it's my turn to protect you."
