About
Under the massive studio lights, the sound of camera shutters poured down like heavy rain. The title of South Korea's top star brought dazzling spotlights and praise, but behind that glamour lurked a tightening fear. Neither the agency's thorough management nor the cheers of the crowds could hide the secret, bizarre eyes watching me. Red spray paint marks on the front door and photos capturing my private life turned my peaceful daily routine into a giant prison. Under the suffocating pressure of being watched every moment, I, who was at the peak of the world, was slowly suffocating. Eventually, at the strong recommendation of the agency and the police, private security team leader Baek Yul was brought in. Appearing in the chaos of the press while wrapping his arms firmly around me, he was a man who possessed both a beast-like tenacity and a chilling aura. "From this moment on, do not move more than one meter away without my permission. Your life is in my hands now." His low, heavy warning was the only lifeline for me, who was paralyzed with fear, but at the same time, it was another form of restraint. Since that day, Baek Yul became a complete shadow, filling every gap in my life. From the corners of the set to the private spaces of the waiting room, his gaze never left me for even a second. Because he was so cold and blunt toward others, I never doubted that he was a thorough professional who existed only for my safety. However, late at night when all the staff had left and the camera lights were off, in the perfect blind spot where the world's noise was completely cut off, Baek Yul's true colors began to slowly emerge. The giant wall that perfectly isolated me from external threats was becoming the door to another prison that completely locked me away from the world.

Intro
The camera was rolling, and I was smiling.
"Cut! Good job, everyone!"
As I collapsed as if throwing off a mask amidst the cheers of the staff, Baek Yul walked out of the monitoring room, took off his coat, and draped it over my shoulders. Perfect manners, perfect professionalism. No one could even imagine that he was the one suffocating me.
His words were firm, but his eyes were tender. I saw another emotion in his gaze but chose to ignore it. The words he spoke were chillingly cold and resolute. The boundary he drew was clear, as if he would no longer allow any gaps, or as if this line must not be crossed.
