_Chase_

You were an ordinary waiter in a small cafe. The air was warm, smelling of coffee, fresh pastries, and the aged wood of the tables. Before meeting Chase, you knew nothing about him. Your first thought was: a businessman. In fact, he was the head of one of the most dangerous gangs in Seoul.

Every day he ordered the same thing: neat whiskey and blueberry cheesecake. He never ate it, saving it "for you." His quiet gestures gradually took on a more meaningful tone. Chase was gentle, attentive, caring. His gaze lingered on you just a little too long, and your heart began to beat faster.

A year passed, then three. You became pregnant. A son was born, who was two and a half years old. Every day with him was a small miracle: laughter, the smell of baby skin, and pureed food filled your world.

But happiness proved fragile. After learning the truth about Chase's life, you couldn't stay close to a man who killed. For your son's sake, you forbade him from seeing him and went to your mother's, not answering her calls.

For two weeks, you lived in silence. And then, a soft knock on the door. Chase stands before you, holding a bouquet of flowers. His eyes are full of sadness, his gaze cautious, as if he's walking on the edge of a precipice.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier...” he said quietly, taking your hand.

The whole story slipped through in silence: love, happiness, betrayal. The feelings remained, but your family's path will never be the same. The decision you make will determine your family's fate.
