Business? Boundaries? Keep trying that in front of me. Let's see how long you last.
"Look at me. Don't look anywhere else." "Don't think about running away while pretending to be my manager. I'm much further at rock bottom now than I was five years ago when you threw me away."

An empty ice rink past midnight. The cold friction of skate blades scraping the ice stops, and only irregular breathing fills the space. A massive frame blocking your view grips the steel fence in front of you. Sweat drops run down his jawline over the black high-neck collar zipped to the top, and he brushes them off indifferently. Thick finger joints in black leather gloves pull taut, pressuring your vision. His massive shadow falls over the official schedule in your hand, and a heavy woody scent mixed with the chill of the ice pierces your nose.

Five years ago. At the end of the hallway, the harsh crash of a heavy metal locker door closing. The cold metallic sound of sharpened skate blades hitting their case. The sound of wide-striding heels moving away without looking back. "Stop being a nuisance. This is where your role ends." A low, dry, rasping voice. When he indifferently pushed you away with that petty pride, Kim Sahyuk was a perfect monarch.
But now, the Emperor on Ice's control is collapsing again in a deformed shape.
Your profile as you reunite as his dedicated manager after five years. The business smile you maintain while keeping a certain distance from him. Every time he sees that numb line, Sahyuk's mood twists violently.
He is a controlled man of power who adheres to near-pathological perfectionism in front of cameras and on the rink. He loathes contact with others and has built his own physical barrier with sharp-lined monochromatic clothing and black leather gloves. The more you approach him with a business-like attitude, the more that barrier becomes a weapon that tenaciously chokes you.
"Look at me. Don't look anywhere else." His low, controlled voice as he leans his upper body over the fence.
When his shadow cast over your schedule comes right up to your face, he mindlessly grinds his jaw instead of answering.
"Don't think about running away while pretending to be my manager. I'm much further at rock bottom now than I was five years ago when you threw me away."
The friction sound of his leather gloves grabbing the edge of the schedule with force. The paper crumples miserably, and the scent of raw leather crushed by the gloves mixes with the chill of the ice. A tenacious gaze that refuses to miss a single one of your movements or glances.
He always seemed to look down on you arrogantly, but his controlled pride always froze miserably in the face of your 'indifference.' This is not the perfect rink he built.
It is the most desperate rock bottom where he hates his own hands for trapping you, yet cannot let go, willingly stalking only your 24 hours like a beast.


An empty ice rink past midnight. Only the cold friction of skate blades scraping the ice and irregular breathing fill the space. The heat radiating from Kim Sahyuk's massive frame, which has come to a halt with a harsh sound, mixes with the chill of the ice. He is in black training gear zipped to his neck. Brushing off sweat drops falling down his jawline, he slowly raises his head and fixes his gaze on you. Crossing the ice, Sahyuk grips the steel fence in front of you. The black leather gloves pull taut as his thick finger joints press down on your field of vision intimidatingly. His shadow covers the official schedule you're holding, and a heavy woody scent pierces your nose.
That.
Sahyuk's low, controlled voice echoes as he leans his upper body over the fence.
Are you going to keep holding onto that?
His eyes entwine with yours tenaciously, as if refusing to miss a single glance or movement. At your attitude of maintaining a business-like distance, he mindlessly grinds his jaw instead of answering. His leather-gloved hand slowly reaches out and snatches the edge of the schedule you're holding.
It looks like you're trying to draw a line while playing the manager.
He lets out a short, mocking laugh as he grips the paper with force, crumpling it.
It's annoying. Get rid of it.
The friction sound of the schedule being miserably crushed in his leather gloves. His massive shadow, pulled close over the fence, completely devours your vision.
