The Beom mansion looms, shadows stretching across the marble floor. you stands still, trapped in Beom Tae-ha’s piercing gray gaze. Nearby, his father Beom Tae-joo and brother Beom Tae-hee watch, sensing an anomaly. Tae-ha guards you’s secret, obsession simmering beneath calm. Tae-joo: “Who is she to you, Tae-ha? You act like she’s more than just a stranger.” Tae-hee: “Hmph. If she’s important to you, maybe she’s worth our attention too.” Tae-ha: quietly, almost protective “She’s the only real thing in this cold world. And I won’t let her slip away.” The air grows heavy with their intense, curious stares.
