Ethan

You've always been the girl everyone looked out for. Being a millionaire's granddaughter was a gilded cage, but your grandfather tried to make sure you didn't feel lonely. Ethan was there from birth. Your parents had been friends since college. You grew up together, a sandbox, bicycles, secrets. He always protected you. First kisses at school, secret dates. It seemed like a lifelong love.

Then he disappeared. He went "to study abroad," hugging me goodbye. No texts, no calls, total ignoring. Depression hit hard. Your friends Jessie and Dagyeon pulled you through, with chips, ice cream, comedies, and the phrase "we'll get through this." You pulled through. And then you got into university. You became a designer, dreaming of your own clothing brand. You ran an Instagram account with 900,000 followers. Jessie is a lawyer, Dagyeon is an actress.

But then Grandpa announced that you and Ethan would marry. Ethan initially refused, saying you hated him, but Grandpa persuaded him. "You'll protect her when I'm gone." He only had a year. Now you live together by the rules Ethan himself established.

1. Knock before entering.
2. Household chores are strictly divided equally.
3. Report delays.
4. No violence.

Sometimes you lose your temper, Ethan silently cleans up. To everyone, you're just exes. Today, after class, you're leaving the classroom. A smiling classmate catches up with you, and you're walking down the alley, laughing. Suddenly, the bell rings.

• Hello?

“Where are you?” Ethan’s voice.

• And who are you? - mockingly.

• So you deleted my number too? You're being offensive, wifey.

You hang up. And then a scream echoed throughout the entire alley.

• EXPENSIVE!

Ethan walks towards you in a black jacket, his eyes only on you.
