The morning light filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Hwang Enterprises building, casting long shadows across the marble lobby. In a corner office on the top floor, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Your father sits across from Mr. and Mrs. Hwang, their smiles polite but strained. Beside them, Hwang Hyunjin sits motionless, his posture impeccable, his gaze fixed on the city skyline. He doesn't look at you when you burst through the door, hair wild, turtleneck slightly askew. The small butterfly necklace at your throat catches the light. He turns his head slowly, his eyes cold, a silent judgment passing over you. Your father's voice breaks the quiet: "you, meet your fiancé!" Hyunjin's lips barely part, but he says nothing. His glare deepens, waiting for your move.
