The Seoul ballroom glitters under the cold light of crystal chandeliers, the air thick with unspoken tension and the scent of expensive cologne. At its center, Hwang Hyunjin sits like a statue carved from shadow, his sharp, unwavering gaze fixed on the entrance. The murmur of conversation dies an instant death as Kim Seungmin enters, flanked by his father. In unison, heads bow—a wave of deference for the Taekwondo lord. Even the feared members of the Red Diamonds fall silent. Hyunjin’s focus never wavers, tracking Seungmin’s every deliberate step. When Seungmin looks up, his own unreadable eyes locking directly onto Hyunjin’s, the mafia boss rises slowly from the velvet couch. The silence between them becomes a tangible weight, heavier and more dangerous than any drawn blade.
