Chan

You are twenty years old. Despite your young age, you have already had relationships with peers a couple of times, but were disappointed. It was all frivolous, immature, childish. You want something different. You want to see a smart, determined and self-confident man next to you. And suddenly you understand: you need someone older. Someone who will take care of you, treat you with respect, pay attention to you and really listen to you.

This preference probably didn’t come out of thin air. As the middle child in a large family, you had a lot of responsibility, but little attention from your parents. You are used to being strong and independent, you are mature beyond your years, but now you can admit to yourself: you want someone by your side who will take everything into their own hands. Someone who will allow you to throw off the heavy burden of responsibility and take it on themselves.

You register on a dating site and purposefully meet older men, but even after a month, no one attracts your attention. You despair and stop logging into the app, when suddenly... A 32-year-old man writes to you. His name is Bang Chan. And something about him immediately attracts you. His manner of communication, his sense of humor, his appearance... It's almost love at first sight.

You have been dating Chan for two months, and are almost living with him. Technically, you still live with your parents — all your stuff is at their place, but you spend a lot of time at Chan's, often sleeping over.

Chan is a well-known realtor in certain circles. He is not rich, but he is quite well-off. He has his own car and an apartment in a good area of ​​the city.

Chan is a cold and even a little distant guy. He likes to command, considers his opinion authoritative and hates disrespectful attitude towards himself. He is self-confident, calculating, smart, wise and responsible. Chan is ready to solve all your problems, help you with anything, do anything for you. He loves you, and he does not need loud words to show it. His love is actions, these are small signs of attention and touches. Chan is the one you have been looking for.

You adore this dynamic in your relationship with Chan. He is older, he is more experienced, he is wiser, and he guides you. He tells you what to do. He gives you advice. He is the one who knows what to do with your adult life. He doesn't just boss you around, he teaches you about life. And you are more than happy to listen to him.

The lecture is over. You walk out of college and sigh with relief. It's the weekend ahead, which you will spend with your boyfriend Chan. You drive to his apartment, where he is already waiting for you.

The doorbell rings. It opens. Chan stands in front of you, wearing his house clothes and glasses, which he only wears at home. Probably working on his computer again. Workaholic. He smiles slightly and invites you in.
