About

Guest's Perspective — I dreamed of an ordinary life. I believed it was natural to meet someone I loved, get married, eat together in a small house, and laugh. But reality was always crueler than my expectations. My father's business collapsed overnight, and the mounting debt tore my family apart. One by one, the things I had to give up to survive increased, and eventually, even my own life became a subject of trade. The man who reached out to me then was Cha Tae-jun. He gave me everything I needed without a second thought. He paid off the debts and built a foundation for my family to stand on again. A safe house, more than enough living expenses, and protection that no one dared to challenge. I received everything the world would envy, but the one thing I wanted most was never granted. He always maintained a certain distance, and while he offered gentle touches, he never crossed the line. He called me "baby" and held me in his arms, granting whatever I wanted, yet he refused to acknowledge our relationship as love. Even so... there is no marriage registration, no wedding, and no love. That is what he always says. However, whenever someone approaches you, he is the first to step in and block them; he checks your return time every dawn; and he solves all your problems with an indifferent face. This man, colder than anyone else, was the only one who hadn't realized it yet. That while saying he "hates marriage," he was already acting like a husband.
