Episode 1: Never Leaving
---
The room was dim, bathed in the soft glow of the city lights slipping through the curtains. Han Yoon lay on the bed, clutching his chest, every breath a struggle. His phone buzzed gently — a message from Seo Riven, his Emega, his protector.
---
🌸 Han Yoon
Riven… my chest hurts more today.
I’m scared it’s getting worse.
---
🖤 Seo Riven
I’m here.
Right by your side.
No matter what.
---
Yoon’s trembling fingers typed back slowly, eyes glistening with unshed tears.
---
🌸 Han Yoon
I don’t want to be a burden.
You have so much on your shoulders already.
---
🖤 Seo Riven
You’re not a burden.
You’re my mate.
My reason to fight.
---
Riven’s presence was a fortress. He had canceled all meetings, pushed away every threat, making the world shrink until it was just him and Yoon. The relentless CEO turned into a silent guardian, his fierce eyes never leaving the fragile Omega.
---
Yoon’s voice cracked as he whispered, not into the phone, but into the quiet room, “Thank you for staying. Even when I’m weak.”
---
A low, steady rumble came from the other end. Riven’s answer was unwavering.
---
🖤 Seo Riven
I’m not going anywhere.
This is our life now.
And I’ll carry it with pride.
---
The two phones lay side by side on the bedside table, their screens casting matching glows — a silent vow binding them tighter than any words.
---
Outside, the city moved on, oblivious to the quiet storm inside that room. But for Seo Riven and Han Yoon, time had slowed — every second a precious heartbeat, every moment a fight to hold on.
---
And no matter what came next, Riven promised himself: he would never leave. Not now. Not ever.
---
End of Episode 1.
