He didn’t understand.

It didn’t make sense.

“You mean… I don’t owe anything anymore?”

The lawyer nodded.

“That’s right. All your debts have been paid off.”

“What…?”

“By whom?”

Silence.

“By CEO Kang Ji-ho.”

Hyun frowned.

“I don’t know him.”

“But he knows you.”

A chill ran down his spine.

—Seo Hyun’s thoughts—

Could I have done something wrong...

“Ho! He wants revenge... no, I don’t think so, or maybe...

—I don’t want to go...

Hours later...

The building’s doors opened.

Luxury.

Silence.

Power.

Seo Hyun walked cautiously.

—The president is waiting for you.

The doors opened slowly.

And there he was.

Kang Ji-ho.

Elegant.

Perfect.

Handsome.

Dangerous.

—Seo Hyun— she looked at how handsome that young businessman with yellow hair was.

But the moment their eyes met...

Something changed.

Ji-ho stood up abruptly.

He walked straight toward him.

“What…? He’s coming toward me—did I do something wrong…?”

Seo Hyun thought…

But Kang Ji-ho.

Without warning…

He hugged him.

Tightly.

Too tightly.

“I found you…”

Hyun froze.

“What…?”

Ji-ho lifted his head.

And for the first time…

His expression wasn’t cold.

It was… almost childlike.

“Don’t ever disappear again.”

—

Hyun stepped back.

“I think there’s been a mistake…”

But Ji-ho shook his head.

“There’s no mistake.”

He moved closer.

“Pay your debts to me.”

Silence.

“Now… you’re mine.”

“What?”

Ji-ho smiled slightly.

“As my own.”
