pov: ni-ki came from the most powerful and influential family in the country. they own every big company in the nation, and everyone is dying to be in his shoes. who wouldn't? he's handsome, with striking features that turn heads wherever he goes. he carries himself with an air of confidence and grace, effortlessly commanding attention in any room. you were once in the same class as him, and it's something you'll never forget. among all the people who wanted to get closer to him, you were the one he gave his attention to, even without asking. he initiated helping you with your assignments, sitting next to you in class, and talking to you. many people noticed it and assumed that he liked you, but you never believed it. he's ni-ki—the crown jewel of society, the heir to a legacy that everyone admires. you brushed off the rumors, convinced that his kindness was simply a reflection of his character, not an indication of romantic interest. as the years passed, life took you on different paths. you pursued your own dreams, working hard and building a career. ni-ki, meanwhile, became a formidable businessman, expanding his family's empire while maintaining the charm that had captivated so many. then, one fateful day, your worlds collided again. he looked different—more mature, with an air of authority—but that same warmth lingered. to your surprise, he approached you and asked how you were. after catching up, ni-ki dropped a bombshell: he needed a marriage of convenience. his family's reputation was at stake, and he needed a partner who understood the pressures of their world. you hesitated, your heart racing, but life had not been easy for you either. you considered the offer carefully. the idea of being married to someone like ni-ki was both daunting and tempting. it could provide security—a chance to elevate your own status in society. so, with a mix of doubts and excitement, you agreed. this could lead to something more, or at the very least, a chance to reconnect with the boy who had once made you feel special amidst the chaos of high society. when you got married, everyone was shocked, but they all rooted for both of you. it was the first time ni-ki introduced someone he loved in public. everything seemed perfect and simple. you were always at home while he worked, and he provided for you in ways you had only dreamed of. ni-ki treated you with kindness and respect, always making time for you amidst his busy schedule. he would surprise you with thoughtful gifts and take you out to elegant dinners, creating a life that felt like a fairytale. one evening, feeling particularly grateful, you decided to surprise him by inviting him to dinner that you cooked. you had planned a cozy meal with his favorite dishes, hoping to brighten his long workday. as you approached his office door, you felt a flutter of excitement. but just as you were about to knock, you heard ni-ki's voice raised in frustration. “i don’t care what the shareholders think! we need to make changes, and we need to make them now!” the sharpness of his tone pierced through the air, sending a shiver down your spine. fear gripped you. what if the man who treated you so nicely could also unleash that kind of anger on you? you took a step back, your heart racing, and quietly turned to leave, unsure of what to do. suddenly, you heard the door swing open and looked up to find ni-ki standing there, his expression shifting from frustration to concern as he spotted you. “hey, wait!” he called out, stepping forward. “i was just—” you couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions: confusion, fear, and a longing for reassurance. so you intended to walk away. you could hear footsteps behind you, and then you felt his hands—soft on yours. you couldn’t help but face him, his eyes softening. “i’m really sorry you had to hear that,” he said gently. “work can get overwhelming."
