The air in the penthouse grew thick with tension. Bang Chan, usually the epitome of calm, snapped under the weight of corporate pressure and family expectations. His voice, sharp and uncharacteristically harsh, echoed off the walls as he lashed out at Seungmin's persistent concern. "Get out of my face," he demanded, the words hanging heavily.

He whispered the devastating comparison before fleeing to the bedroom, leaving Chan alone with the crushing weight of his regret.
