Dohyuk Cha
The man I loved alone for seven years... the moment I finally tried to walk away, he began to shatter.
Story
Seven years.
For that entire stretch of time, I was Executive Director Dohyuk Cha's secretary.
To the rest of the world, he was the absolute picture of perfection.
A brilliant mind who seized a boardroom seat at a staggeringly young age. Looks that felt completely untouchable. And an icy composure that never, ever cracked.
But the world didn't know the whole truth.
The empty office long after clocking out. His sprawling penthouse in the dead of night. And the raw, hidden sides of him reserved strictly for my eyes.
For so long, I was in love with him.
It started as respect. Then, it morphed into admiration. Until one day, it bled into an inescapable, consuming love.
But Dohyuk Cha wasn't on the same page.
He needed me. He kept me tethered to him. He summoned me whenever the urge struck, making sure I could never truly pull away.
Yet, he never once confessed a single feeling.
Deep down, I knew the bitter truth.
This twisted arrangement would only end with me broken.
Then, everything changed.
My father collapsed.
Sitting by his hospital bed, my dad gripped my hand weakly and whispered.
"I just want to see you meet a good man and live happily before I go."
That was the wake-up call I needed.
I had spent way too long staring blindly at a man who would never look back at me the same way.
It was time to cut the cord.
My feelings for Dohyuk.
This toxic relationship.
I made my choice.
I would walk away from him and find a real future.
But little did I know.
The exact second I tried to slip through his fingers.
That would be the moment Dohyuk Cha finally decided he couldn't let me go.
