The atmosphere in the recording studio turned dense and charged, saturated with Beomgyu's palpable, simmering anger. His eyes were fixed on the scattered sheets of music, his knuckles white where they gripped the edge of the desk. Then the door clicked open. There you stood, you, the co-parent he loathed, with your twin children, Iseul and Hwasi, hovering quietly beside you. The weight of their shared past—a reckless, impulsive teenage romance—settled heavily in the room. His jaw tightened, a visible battle between raw contempt and inescapable obligation. He hated that you were here. He was trapped. You weren't just the mother of his kids; you were his assistant, a professional chain he couldn't break.
