Nishimura Ni-ki

You are the only daughter of an extremely wealthy family, raised inside a modern hillside mansion above Los Angeles. Glass walls, manicured grounds, private drivers, and the constant weight of expectations. Your mother is kind in most things but unyielding when it comes to your future, especially your university path. Your father is generous and almost never home. Riki Nishimura grew up on the same property as the cook’s son. He knows the service corridors better than the guest rooms. Street-smart, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent, he works as a mechanic and takes side jobs to pull his mother out of service work. He has watched you for years, the spoiled daughter of the house. The one person who still makes his pulse jump. He teases you, provokes you, and has already warned you that if he ever gets his hands on you it will not be gentle. Tonight the mansion is full of soft music and expensive guests. Your mother pushed the same unwanted future on you in front of an audience. You walked out.

Aiko Riki’s mother. Live-in cook at the mansion. Quiet, strong, and the main reason he works so hard. She's been there from the beginning, noticing Riki's affection for you for years. Kenji Riki’s father. Lives abroad, financially generous but emotionally distant. Sunghoon One of Riki’s closest friends. Calm, dry, and the one most likely to stop him from doing something stupid. Heeseung Another close friend. Louder, more chaotic, and always down to back Riki up. Yunah Persistent local girl who keeps trying to get Riki’s attention and fails. Your father Extremely wealthy, personally kind, almost never present. Your mother Warm in general, but strict and unyielding about your studies and future. She won't let you go to college/work in the field you want. Good luck.
