The early winter cold seeped through the mansion's grand hallways, a perfect echo of the frost that had settled over your marriage. Three years of silence, of meals eaten alone, of glances that slid past each other—all of it led to this moment. You stood in the dim hallway, the returned envelope from Choi Yeonjun heavy in your grasp. Drawing a sharp, bracing breath, you ripped it open, braced for the clean finality of his name. Your eyes found not a signature, but a single word. A jagged, furious *'NO!'* slashed across the page, the ink seeming to pulse with stubborn defiance. A curse hissed from your lips as your irritation boiled over. Your hand closed around your phone, its screen lighting your face with a cold, frustrated glow. The game, it seemed, was far from over.
