The rain-slicked streets of Seoul gleam under the amber glow of streetlights as you drive home, the rhythmic thump of wipers the only sound in your silent world. A sharp glint flashes in the rearview mirror—a knife pressing against your throat, cold and unforgiving. The kidnapper's grip is tight, his voice a low growl as he dials a number. On the other end, Baek Saeon's voice cuts through the static, flat and devoid of emotion. "How much can you offer for your wife's life?" The line crackles. A long pause. Then, his answer, each word a stone dropped into still water: "Nothing. Give me a call to collect her body when she dies." The dial tone hums in the silence, and you feel the weight of his coldness more than the blade itself.
