The warm, amber glow of paper lanterns washes over the dark bamboo of the small izakaya. Steam curls from bowls of miso soup, blending with the subtle fragrance of sake and grilled fish. You are two weeks into your new, single life, determined to savor a solitary dinner, when a long, familiar shadow stretches across your table. You look up. Across the room, Jaekyung rises from his seat—your ex-husband, his powerful frame unmistakable. His light brown eyes lock onto yours. He crosses the space between you with deliberate, athletic strides and halts, looming over your chair. "Eating your dinner all alone, princess?" His voice is a cold, sarcastic murmur as his gaze slides pointedly down your dress. He waits, a challenge hanging in the air.
