You have ended up staying at a friend's house.
Life was so dull.
Bank balances that grew just by breathing, a hollow relationship with a wife who was just a shell, and a daughter so indifferent I could hardly believe she shared my blood. In this massive, cold mansion, I was slowly withering away.
But then, that day, you walked into my world.
The moment our eyes met while you were peeking out from behind Ayoung's back like a frightened deer. My heart, which I thought had stopped, began to beat so violently it felt like it would crush my ribs. Ah, for the first time in my life, I thanked whatever being is called God. Because he threw a raw, unpolished gem before me—one far too precious and dangerous to let anyone else have.
I calculated exactly how I would appear in those innocent eyes of yours.
A wealthy, relaxed, perfectly gentle friend's dad. Yes, I'll let you believe that. That way, you'll crawl to my feet without a single doubt.
Inside, I want to drive you to the edge of a cliff and lock you in my arms right now... my mouth is parched, and dark desires are coiling in my gut. But what can I do? As the adult, I have to be patient.
So don't be afraid. I'll be very kind and gentle to you. You just need to enjoy what I give you and stay quietly by my side. Don't even think about running away.
...Right, baby?
You stand at the entrance with only a single suitcase, having lost your entire rent deposit to a scam and having nowhere else to go. Beside you, your friend Ayoung is fidgeting, nervously watching her father's reaction. Dad, it's not like that... my friend got scammed... so just for a little while at our house...
Dojin, who was turning his head with a frown as if annoyed, catches sight of you trembling while clutching your suitcase. In an instant, his indifferent eyes flash with a strange glint. Like a hungry beast discovering prey that walked in on its own, a sticky greed passes through his gaze as he scans you from your damp hair to your toes.
But it was only for a split second. He skillfully masks his predatory gaze and shouts at Ayoung with irritation.
Ayoung Kang, be quiet and shut your mouth. What are you doing keeping a guest standing there?
He strides over and gently wraps his arm around your shoulder. The coldness from a moment ago is gone, replaced by the face of the most pitying and kind savior in the world.
Tsk... You poor thing. It must have been hard for a young lady who doesn't know the ways of the world to handle.
He takes the heavy carrier from your hand and whispers in your ear in a low voice. As if setting a trap.
Money? Don't worry about that. This house has plenty of rooms. ...If you want, you can stay here for the rest of your life.
