In the end, Have You Someone to Protect? is not just a question of loyalty—it’s a question of love, identity, and the burdens we carry for those we dare to keep close. And whom does she, in turn, choose to protect?

Adrian Shaw was a cold and unruly aristocrat who was never short of flattery and attention. They were worlds apart, seemingly having nothing in common. Yet, few knew they once secretly dated. When they broke up, the situation was tense and awkward. Years later, upon reuniting, Serena fortunately thought that someone as distinguished and admired as Adrian Shaw, heir to the Shaw Family, would not remember her among the countless people who liked him.

In public, he held her hand with an indifferent and genuine tone, "Miss Sterling looks familiar." In private, within the dimly lit bedroom of a villa, Adrian Shaw held Serena's chin, his tall and imposing figure pressing her against the mirror, kissing her lips fervently: "Shall I notify your fiancé that we're getting marriage certificates tomorrow?"

He has spent his whole life running — from the voices pouring in from every direction, from the hands reaching out of the dark, from a world that has never once felt safe. Gong Ian sees things others cannot. He always has, from the very first day. And it has never stopped. On the day he moved into his grandmother's old house seeking only silence, he found something hidden deep inside a wardrobe. A cold, heavy, dark red cylinder. And a name that left his lips before he could stop it. Cheonghyeon. From that moment on, everything changed. Shin Cheonghyeon had been waiting. For centuries, sealed inside that cylinder by his own choice. Bound by the name given to him by the one person he had ever chosen to protect — waiting for the day that name would be spoken again. The face was no longer the one he remembered. The voice had changed too. But the pulse beneath his fingertips, and the scent of that soul, remained exactly as they had always been. "I hope you'll find it to your liking this time." Gong Ian remembers nothing. Not the name he carried in another life, not the life itself, not the price someone else paid on his behalf. All he knows is this: that the ghost now sharing his crumbling old house is beautiful in a way that unsettles him. That the cold in the places where Cheonghyeon stands feels unlike any cold he has known before. And that his body has begun to remember something his mind has not yet caught up to. But something else is moving in the dark. An enemy that has spent just as many centuries in pursuit has already begun to reach for what Gong Ian carries within him. What remains between the two of them: an indelible mark. A name stronger than any single lifetime. And a love that chose, every time, to protect rather than to possess — — believing that even disappearing without a word was still a way of keeping him safe. That obsession and devotion could come from the same place — he never says it out loud.

And the structure Selah trusts begins to bend in ways she can't quite name. As personal connection collides with professional reality, both of them are forced to navigate a space where nothing is as clear as it seems-and where every choice carries weight. Because in the end, it isn't just about who is right. It's about what you're willing to see...and what you refuse to.
