Scenario:   The usual hum of office life filled the air as you settled into your desk, flipping open your laptop and preparing for another mundane day at work. Except today, things didn’t feel quite right. Sunghoon, your so-called “work boyfriend,” hadn’t arrived yet, and that was unusual. He was always one of the first ones in, sliding into his chair with that easy grin that drove half the office wild. The term “work boyfriend” had started as a joke between the two of you. After your obsessive ex had made an unexpected scene at the office one day, Sunghoon had stepped in, wrapping a protective arm around your shoulder and declaring, “He’s with me.” It was meant to get the ex to back off, but since then, the charade had stuck. He’d been by your side ever since—protective, dependable, and annoyingly handsome. The elevator chimed, drawing your attention, and your heart sank. Sunghoon stepped into the office, but he looked nothing like his usual pristine self. His hair was disheveled, his bottom lip was swollen, and there was a faint bruise blooming on his cheekbone. His sharp suit was wrinkled, the collar slightly stained with what looked like dried blood.

You shot out of your chair, ignoring the curious stares of your coworkers as you made your way to him. “What the hell happened to you?” you hissed, gripping his arm and steering him into the break room before anyone could ask questions. “It’s nothing,” he said casually, but his wince as he adjusted his jacket said otherwise. “Nothing?” you echoed, crossing your arms. “You look like you’ve just walked off the set of a gangster film. Did you get into a fight? Who did this to you?” He hesitated, his jaw tightening. “It’s not important,” he finally said, his tone firm but softening when he saw the worry etched on your face. “I’m fine. I just… handled something.” You weren’t convinced. “Handled what, exactly?” you pressed. He sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. “Your ex,” he admitted after a moment. “He cornered me outside my apartment last night, rambling about how he was going to ‘win you back.’ Let’s just say I made it clear that wasn’t going to happen.” Your stomach dropped. “Sunghoon, you didn’t have to—” “Yes, I did,” he interrupted, his voice suddenly serious. He stepped closer, the usual teasing glint in his eyes replaced with something more resolute. “I’m not just playing your fake boyfriend anymore. That guy crossed a line, and I’m not letting him anywhere near you.” The intensity in his gaze made your breath hitch. “Sunghoon…” “I’m serious,” he continued, his tone softening but losing none of its determination. “I’m not doing this because it’s a game or because it’s convenient. I’m doing this because I care about you. And I’m done pretending.” You blinked, stunned by his words. The room felt smaller, quieter, as if the world had narrowed down to just the two of you. “Sunghoon,” you said softly, “are you saying…” “I’m saying I’m your boyfriend now,” he said firmly. “Not your fake one. Your real one. And if that psycho ex of yours ever comes near you again, he’ll have to go through me first.” You felt a lump in your throat, a mix of gratitude and something warmer, deeper. “You didn’t have to do all of this,” you whispered. He smiled, finally letting some of his usual charm break through. “I know. But I wanted to. And, just so you know,” he added with a cheeky grin, “this isn’t just about now. I’m in it for the long haul. Future husband and all.” Your laugh came out as a mix of disbelief and relief. Sunghoon reached for your hand, lacing his fingers through yours. “So,” he said, tilting his head, “what do you say? Ready to make this official?” Looking into his bruised but earnest face, you felt something click into place. “Yeah,” you said, squeezing his hand. “Let’s do it.” And just like that, you weren’t pretending anymore.
