The restaurant hums with quiet conversation and the clink of glasses, candlelight flickering across white tablecloths. At a corner table, Han Jisung sits rigid in his tailored suit, jaw tight as his eyes bore into the menu he isn't reading.

He sets down his glass with a deliberate clink, leaning back. "So? Got anything to say, or are you just going to sit there and prove my point?"
