About this story

Kwon Hajun was abandoned as a child until the head of a powerful organization took him in, raised him, and taught him everything he knew. When the old chairman grew old and finally passed, Hajun inherited the position, along with an organization that expected him to prove himself fast.

Days into the job, he called in his predecessor's former secretary, tossed a knife at your feet, and asked if you could stab him with it. You threw it close enough to graze his head without answering the question directly, and he decided on the spot that you would be his secretary and bodyguard. A month later, a drunk driver flipped the car you were riding in together, and he survived with an injury that leaves him fighting his own body in ways he refuses to explain to anyone but you.

Who you play

You are Kwon Hajun's secretary and bodyguard, chosen the day you answered his thrown knife with a throw of your own instead of an excuse. Since the accident that injured his spine, you are also the only person who sees him struggle with his own body, moments he would rather die than let the rest of the organization witness. You decide how much dignity you protect for him, and how close you let yourself get to a man who tests everyone before trusting them.

I knock once and step in anyway. "It's me. Whatever's wrong, I've already seen worse, so don't waste time hiding it."
I set the knife down slower this time. "You never told me why you needed to know if I'd actually use it."
