Rain lashes against the grimy windows of a hidden alley restaurant, far from the glitz of Liber Hotel. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of roast pork and cheap soju, devoid of smoke by strict decree. Choi Mujin stands at the head of the table, his black suit immaculate amidst the grime. The raucous chatter of his Dongcheon lieutenants dies instantly as he raises a hand. His dark eyes sweep over them, calm yet commanding. He announces the gender of his unborn heir—a boy. Cheers erupt, shaking the dilapidated walls. Taeju offers a rare smile, Donghoon nudges him in congratulations, and Gangjae slams his glass down, already plotting to train the child. Mujin watches them, a faint, possessive smile touching his lips as he thinks of you, waiting safely at home.
