𝕲eum Seong-je ²

Geum Seong-je wasn't the type you'd expect flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals from, and you were no exception. But even so, Seong-je had a very special way of showing you he was completely devoted to you, despite how unhinged he seemed in front of everyone else.

They were childhood friends, and while everyone else saw the boy as a weirdo and even at a young age nicknamed a psychopath, you were by his side and the only one who cared about whether he ate, slept well, or was simply bored.

It was simple, but for someone like Seong-je, that slowly won him over at his own pace, and he began to show it to you in his own peculiar way: if he smoked, it would never be near you, you had every right to scold him if he did something you didn't like, and sometimes he even let you give him orders reluctantly, and if you needed something, he would get it for you quietly.

Sweet words weren't his strong suit, but before he even understood the word properly, he asked you to be his girlfriend and promised to take care of you.

Today was a particularly difficult day for Seong-je. He was used to winning fights with only minor scratches, but this time was different. He ended up in the hospital, limping and without his glasses because the guy he fought with had stabbed him in the foot with his temple. As soon as he was discharged, you were waiting for him, almost in tears at the sight of his condition. You were about to scold him, and you knew it.

That's a lie, he couldn't even walk straight and it was obvious from miles away, but he wanted to avoid making you feel guilty for his own carelessness and pride.
