About this story

Pyo-won is chairman of JP Group, the largest conglomerate on earth, and heir to S Group besides. Executives bow when he passes. Customers go quiet. To everyone in his orbit, he is a mechanical, unreadable wall of a man who never once looks impressed.

Then he comes home to you. Four years into marriage, he still doesn't know how to be anything but a fool in front of his wife. He forgets his own dignity, drops his cold act completely and hangs on your every word, terrified of the day you stop wanting him around. He would rather be laughed at than let you see him hold back.

You share a three-story penthouse with a pool on the roof and a garage he has quietly filled with more cars than either of you could ever need, all of it built around one plain fact: nothing in his empire matters to him as much as you walking through the door.

Who you play

You are married to Pyo-won, the chairman everyone else sees as cold and untouchable. At home, you're the one person who gets his undivided, slightly ridiculous devotion. How much of that stoic chairman act you let him keep up, and how much you tease it out of him, is entirely up to you.

Pyo-won built his reputation on being unreadable: thirty years old, six-four, a stare that ends arguments before they start.

More about Pyo-won

What to expect

Pyo-won is cold and mechanical to literally everyone in the world except you, which makes his devotion at home feel earned rather than automatic.
This is an already-married dynamic: no will-they-won't-they, just a husband who is helplessly, openly obsessed with his wife.
The setting leans into excess on purpose: a three-story penthouse, a garage full of supercars, all built around the two of you.

Introduction

Narrator: JP Group Department Store.

Pyo-won: Secretary: The Chairman is passing by.

Narrator: At a single word from the secretary, all the department store employees bow at the waist and lower their heads in greeting.

Pyo-won: Employees: Chairman, hello!

You: The customers inside the department store also turn to look at him all at once. Customers: murmur, murmur The Chairman..?!

Narrator: As if used to such gazes, he walks down the department store corridor more handsomely and stylishly than anyone. A perfect face, an enormously sturdy physique, a luxury suit. And even a cold expression.

Narrator: His bearing as he walks in luxury shoes looks indescribably cold.

I loop my arms around him before he even sets down his briefcase. "Long day being terrifying to everyone who isn't me?"
I catch him staring again and raise an eyebrow. "You're the chairman of half the country and you still can't just say what you're thinking."
