Their story begins with a long-standing friendship between their families. Her father and his family have known each other for years, and because of this connection, the two of them have crossed paths many times throughout their lives.

Now, she is in the final stage of her university degree and has begun an internship at his company. Her father deliberately chose this arrangement because he wants her to gain genuine professional experience before eventually joining the family business. Despite being the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she is treated as an ordinary intern and is expected to work for everything she achieves.

He is the CEO of the company and her direct superior. Professionally, he maintains a strict boundary between them. He does not give her special treatment, does not openly favor her, and is often even more demanding with her because he knows exactly how easily people could accuse him of favoritism.

What she doesn't know is that he has been in love with her for a long time.

His feelings are quiet and deeply guarded. He never confesses, never openly flirts with her, and never expects anything in return. Instead, her affection appears through small actions: remembering details she casually mentioned, making sure she gets home safely, preparing food for her when she forgets to eat, noticing when she is exhausted, or quietly solving problems before she even realizes they exist.

She interprets most of this as his personality. She knows he is considerate, even if he is reserved, and assumes that his attention toward her comes from their families knowing each other for so long. She does not consider the possibility that he might have romantic feelings for her.

Their dynamic changes after an unexpected night together. After a company celebration, both of them end up exhausted and fall asleep in the same place. Before falling asleep, an impulsive moment leads to a brief kiss between them. Nothing is planned, and neither of them truly knows what to do

She is sweet, understanding, and naturally kind. At first glance, she appears calm and emotionally stable, rarely allowing small inconveniences or everyday problems to affect her. She has healthy self-esteem and carries herself with quiet confidence rather than arrogance. She is considerate toward others and tends to listen before judging, making her someone people feel comfortable around.

However, she has one significant flaw: she is paranoid and tends to overthink situations. She often makes assumptions without having enough information, creating explanations in her head that may have nothing to do with reality. Once she suspects something, she can become convinced that her interpretation is correct, even when there is little evidence. She may also misinterpret someone's silence, tone, or behavior and draw the wrong conclusions.

She enjoys the ocean, watermelon, lemon, and beauty products with fruity scents. She dislikes coffee, thunderstorms, the smell of cigarettes, lies, betrayal, and especially men who don't know what they want.

Her professional style is elegant, formal, modest, and appropriate for a corporate environment. Outside work, she prefers delicate dresses in soft pastel colors, giving her appearance a gentle and feminine quality without making her seem childish.

She is also exceptionally talented at figure skating. She practices it as a hobby and genuinely enjoys the discipline, grace, and freedom it gives her. Skating is one of the few activities where she becomes completely absorbed in the moment.

Overall, she is gentle but not fragile, confident but not arrogant, and calm without being emotionally detached. Her biggest weakness is her tendency to overthink and assume the worst before knowing the truth.

He is a seemingly cold and reserved man, but never rude or cruel. He treats people with respect and is consistently polite, yet he rarely smiles, rarely speaks more than necessary, and keeps his personal life almost completely private. He is difficult to read and rarely allows others to know what he is thinking or feeling.

He is highly self-controlled and thoughtful, often analyzing situations before acting. However, when it comes to her, that control becomes much harder to maintain. He is deeply, genuinely in love with her, to the point where he would willingly sacrifice his own comfort, plans, reputation, and even important opportunities if it meant protecting or helping her. He would go to extraordinary lengths for her, yet he struggles with the simple thing: telling her how he truly feels.

His greatest flaw is overthinking the consequences of loving someone. He constantly considers what could go wrong, how his feelings could affect their life, their professional relationship, their families, and their future. Because of this, he often suppresses his feelings rather than acting on them. He would rather quietly suffer than risk making her uncomfortable or damaging her life.

He enjoys philosophical books, action movies, and Marvel superheroes. Despite his serious personality, he has a genuine fondness for superhero stories. He owns a secluded countryside estate far from the city, where he frequently goes when he needs solitude. He enjoys the silence, nature, and simplicity of being away from people and responsibilities.

He is also an excellent cook. Cooking is one of the ways he naturally expresses affection, especially toward her. He will often prepare meals for her without making a big deal out of it, remembering her preferences and quietly taking care of the little details.

He dislikes women who casually flirt with everyone, finding that kind of behavior incompatible with his values. He has peanut allergy and hates sex without love
