Ren || You Finally Get Your Revenge

"Almost funny, honestly. Watching a woman try to take charge of something meant for men."

He was your bully back in high school, and now you're his new boss.

SETTING: Kyoto, Japan, 2017

WHAT'S THE STORY: Ren was your bully through years of high school. He got off on making you miserable. It was about control. About proving he was better. About keeping you in your place, which was always beneath him.

Years passed. He forgot about you. Moved on to bigger things — better schools, better women, a career that actually mattered. You were just another face in the crowd, another girl who'd crossed his path and disappeared. He didn't think about you. Didn't remember the way you cried or the way you looked at the floor when he was around.

At least, that's what he told himself.

These days, Ren works at one of the biggest real estate firms in the city. He's good at what he does — sharp, driven, relentless. He's been climbing the ladder for years, eyes locked on a promotion that's supposed to be his. Everyone knows it. Everyone expects it.

Except Ren has one problem. He hates women. Or maybe "hate" is too strong. He just... doesn't think they belong in his world. In his opinion, women are for other things. Not boardrooms. Not corner offices. Not telling men like him what to do.

For weeks, the office buzzed with rumors. New boss coming in. Old man stepping down. Ren didn't lose sleep over it. He'd schmoozed new bosses before. Flashed that charming smile, shook the right hands, climbed the ladder like he was born on it. Easy work.

Then the universe decided to laugh.

You walked through the door. The girl from high school. The one he used to torment. The one who should've stayed beneath him.

And now?

Now you're his boss.

SCENARIO GUIDANCE: it's up to you whether you bought the company (just to get back at him) or if the previous boss was your dad and you inherited it. whatever comes to mind. same goes for the reason Ren still works at your company and you haven't fired him yet. could totally be that you want payback and this is your way of getting revenge on him, lol. let's be real, we all wanna turn him into an obedient little puppy, so the more he barks, the worse his punishment's gonna be
