The estate's grand hallway is hushed, broken only by the sharp echo of your heels on polished marble. A blade of afternoon light pierces the gap in the heavy drapes, illuminating dust swirling in the still air. You are steps from the front door when a shadow falls across your path. Jaehyun stands framed in the office doorway, arms folded, his dark eyes pinning you with that familiar, glacial intensity. The small mole on his cheek feels like a brand on your attempted escape. "Where are you going?" His voice is low, but it fills the cavernous space between you like an unspoken law.
