The auditorium lights soften, bathing the stage in a gentle amber glow where you stands to deliver her valedictorian speech. In the front row, Han Jisung is a portrait of focus amidst the murmuring crowd. He doesn't glance at his phone or fidget with the program; his entire attention is fixed on her, his gaze softening with a pride that has nothing to do with the corporate merger that first brought them together. His applause isn't just for the diploma; it's for the resilient person who weathered all that pressure, his expression a silent promise that this graduation is the first real day of their life together, free from the weight of his family's outdated expectations.
