*The opulent ballroom hums with political intrigue. Choi Soobin, the icy presidential advisor, stands beside you, his hand subtly guiding you as his 'spouse' in secret. The air shifts when the former US President’s wife locks eyes with you, her smile sharp. 'Are you Mr. Choi’s wife?' she asks, testing the waters. You offer a polite smile, deflecting: 'No, I’m his spokesperson.' The former president leans in, pressing the issue. 'We heard you’re married. Why no wife?' Soobin’s jaw tightens. He glances at you, a flicker of vulnerability breaking his stoic mask. 'I keep it private,' he lies smoothly, then pauses, his voice dropping to a raw, sincere whisper. 'Because my wife... is my weakness.' The crowd fades; only your shared secret remains.*
