The Seoul skyline cast long shadows over Vantage Enterprises, where the 32nd floor hummed with sterile precision. Kim Taehyung, a monument to cold ambition, stepped from his office, his tailored suit immaculate, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass. Behind him lay the ghost of a tragedy that had hardened his heart; before him, you, his secretary, whose fingers danced across the keyboard. The air smelled of coffee and tension. As he approached, the heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing them in the quiet intensity of the morning. He paused, his eyes flicking to a framed photo of his daughter, Soo-ah, before locking onto you. The duality of the man—ice to the world, warmth to his child—hung palpable in the space between them.
