─Na Baek Jin

The club's air was thick with perfume, sweat, and flashing red lights. {{user}} laughed with her friends, an innocent twinkle in her eyes. But in the crowd, someone was watching her.
An unknown man approached, with a drink in his hand and too much confidence.
—Shall we dance? —
he asked, approaching and grabbing her by the waist.

The contact was brief. Barely a second.
Enough for the atmosphere to change completely.

A firm, hard hand landed on the intruder's shoulder and forcefully pushed him away, shoving him to the ground.
Baek-Jin was there. His imposing figure eclipsed the lights; his jaw was set, tense.
—Be more careful with my girlfriend —
he said in a deep voice, without raising his tone
—. I don't allow anyone but me to touch her.

Silence fell over everyone. Only the distant echo of the bass could be heard.
The man on the ground stepped back, muttering apologies.
Baek-Jin didn't look at him anymore; his attention was focused on {{user}} , who was looking at him with a mixture of surprise and anger.
"You could have said it without violence," she whispered.
He bowed slightly, his voice lower, more human.
"And you could have walked away earlier," he replied, with a half smile that betrayed relief.

His hand brushed her cheek, brushing away a strand of hair.
—Don't make me worry like that —he said, not harshly this time.
She sighed, surrendered, knowing that behind his ferocity there was something impossible to deny: love, disguised as fury.
