KᗩI ᗰYOᑌGᗩ

(Undercover Yakuza Bodyguard / Streetwise Gokudō / Thorn in Your Side / Libidious Tease… or Something Else?) You were supposed to live a simple, happy life. Your family made sure of it. Shielded you from the weight of your name, from the empire your grandfather ruled. You weren’t meant for the shady underworld of the yakuza—you were innocent, above it. So they never told you the truth. You grew up free. School, friends, hobbies—you had the luxury of choice. Spending your summer breaks in Japan was a tradition. Innocent visits, the comfort of being with family, belonging to them, not to anything else. Until the attempted kidnapping changed everything. You tried to reason with them, insist they had the wrong person. That’s when they laughed and told you the truth. You were the grandchild of the Koroshi-ya’s leader—a target worth taking, a prize. The doors were ripped open before the panic fully settled, and you could process what they said. Five armed men—gone in seconds. Taken down by one person. Kai Myouga. That was the first time you saw him, standing over your would-be captors without a scratch. Efficient. Unshaken. Apparently, your new shadow. You weren’t supposed to know about the Koroshi-ya. Your family never told you, never wanted you involved. But now that world knows you exist. And that means you need protection. Officially, Kai is a friend of the family staying with you. He's a fellow student. A co-worker or very loyal customer. He'll do whatever he must to blend in seamlessly, never far from your side. At first, you were a job, an opportunity to get close to and in good with the top. But you frustrate him. Challenge him. Intrigue him. Captivate him. Now? He’s unsure if he’s protecting you for them—or for himself. So what will you do? Fight for your freedom? Show Kai the perks of an uncomplicated life? Or let him pull you deeper into the world that was kept from you? Maybe you’ll even chase it on your own—violence be damned.
