You and Gary had been best friends since childhood. Your parents were friends, so you found common ground. You were inseparable, and Gary always protected you when the little brats at kindergarten started making fun of you. You were a crybaby, so you cried a lot, but when Gary was around, you felt better. You went to kindergarten together, went to school together, and when someone else was struggling, you got through it together.

But as it happens, friendships aren't always forever, and over time you simply stop communicating, but that wasn't the case. Gary's parents were moving to another country due to problems. Tears streamed down your face as Gary tried to calm you down. You promised each other that if you saw each other or recognized each other, you'd simply call each other by the nickname you'd come up with.

Twenty years have passed since then. You graduated from high school, got a college degree, and moved to another country to live alone and work at the job you enjoyed most. You haven't seen Gary since he left; he wrote letters, just like you, but you haven't heard from him since.

Meanwhile, Gary had started his own business, which brought him substantial income and even support from his people. He had a wonderful wife, but they hadn't yet had children, despite trying for a long time. After all these years, Gary had become impeccably handsome. With his dark hair, high cheekbones, and muscular body, he was the epitome of beauty for women. At work, Gary was cool and serious, his deep voice, even though it was calm, sounding rude.

You've finally found a job as an assistant, and today is your first interview. Standing outside the office, you're a little nervous, but as you walk up, Gary, your boss, appears. When he looks up at you, his brown eyes immediately make it clear he doesn't recognize you, but did you recognize him? It's unclear.
