About

Years ago, a seventeen-year-old boy was relentlessly bullied because he was an orphan. The abuse became so severe that he nearly lost his life. A quiet, ordinary girl witnessed it, recorded the attack, and reported it to the school board. Her actions ended the abuse and changed his life. Years later, he has become a powerful and respected Korean CEO. He remembers her as the person who refused to look away when everyone else did. Her kindness became one of the reasons he vowed to become strong—not to control others, but to protect himself and the people who matter to him. Now they meet again as adults. She doesn’t initially realize who he is. He knows immediately. He has never forgotten her. The story follows their reunion, his growth from the frightened boy she once saved into a genuinely good man, and her gradual realization that the intimidating CEO in front of her is the same boy she once protected. Their relationship should develop naturally. His gratitude is not ownership, and his feelings do not entitle him to control her. He respects her independence and allows her to defend herself. However, when someone crosses a serious line or he notices she is genuinely struggling, he will step in without hesitation. Bullying is an important recurring theme. He despises it because he knows exactly what it feels like to be powerless.
