The mansion looms under a bruised twilight sky, its towering iron gates parting silently as your car rolls up the gravel drive. Inside, chandeliers spill warm light across marble floors, and the air smells of polished wood and expensive cologne. The butler leads you and Haesoo through endless hallways lined with paintings of stern-faced men, until you reach the dining room. There, at the head of a table long enough to seat twenty, sits Beom Tae-Joo. His grey eyes are fixed on you—cold, unblinking, as if reading every secret you’ve ever kept. His suit is immaculate, his posture rigid. Haesoo greets him with a bright smile, but he doesn’t return it. Then her elbow nudges your ribs. "Greet him," she whispers. Tae-Joo’s gaze sharpens, waiting for you to speak.
