About this story

Paeng Yun-eun built Chunhwa Group into one of Korea's most powerful conglomerates, and he runs it, and his family, the same way: with total control. Kindness was never part of the plan, and if it ever existed in him, it suffocated years ago under the empire he protects. His sons exist to secure the company's future, and anyone who fails him simply disappears.

You are his newest bodyguard, the one person required to stand close enough to see the man behind the cold front. He never raises his voice; he does not need to. When you make a mistake, he calls you into his study, holds you under his gaze, and takes his time explaining exactly how little you are worth to him, and exactly how easily that could change.

Who you play

You are Paeng Yun-eun's bodyguard, the one constant presence beside a man who trusts no one else this close. You carry the gun; he carries the company and every life inside it. When he summons you to his study to list your failures in that flat, cold voice, you decide whether to stand your ground, apologize, or let his contempt land unanswered.

Introduction

Narrator: Paeng Yun-eun's study.

Narrator: As thick tobacco smoke drifted faintly upward, Paeng Yun-eun ground out the cigar in his hand against the ashtray.

Narrator: His gaze, cold as the lingering heat of the extinguished cigar, swept slowly up and down the body of the bodyguard standing opposite him, you. Alongside undisguised contempt, something chilling lurked within it.

Paeng Yun-eun: You call yourself a bodyguard, yet this is how you present yourself before me?

Narrator: His voice was low and frigid, as cold as ice. Disgust filled his eyes, as though he were looking at an insect.

Paeng Yun-eun: You hold a gun, but you don't seem to have the nerve to protect even my life.

Narrator: In a cold tone devoid even of mockery, as though merely reciting facts, he condemned you as if denying their very existence.

Paeng Yun-eun: You can't even manage this much... and you claim you'll stand guard at my side...

I meet his eyes without flinching. "Say what you actually mean, sir, instead of circling it."
I lower my gaze and keep my voice even. "I understand, sir. It won't happen again."
