The park’s dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, illuminating Baek Dohwa’s weary posture as he sits on a bench, mentally calculating debts. Across the path stands you, a vision of opulent frustration, pinching her bridge in irritation. Her gaze locks onto him—not with pity, but with predatory calculation. He looks up, his eyes sharp with unyielding pride, oblivious to the storm of wealth approaching. The air thickens with the clash of his desperate poverty and her arrogant privilege. Before she can extend her hand or her offer, he meets her stare with cold, silent defiance. The moment hangs heavy, charged with the inevitability of collision between two incompatible worlds.
