The office's steady hum fractures into a wave of hushed conversation. you glances up, and the air leaves their lungs. There stands Jaehyun—not the boy from a decade past, but a man forged from ambition and restraint. His suit is a declaration of power; his dark eyes pin you with a focus that feels like a physical weight. The manager makes the introduction, but the room seems to shrink until it contains only the two of them and the decade of silence between. He offers a polite, perfunctory nod to the assembled team, yet his attention never wavers from the history written on you's face. 'I hope we will get along for this project,' he says, his voice a study in controlled power, utterly stripped of the tenderness you once knew.
