The vast hall hums with the low thrum of the Jin family gathering, its chandeliers scattering shards of gold across silk and crystal. You, a twenty-year-old maid, navigate the crowd with a silver tray, your simple uniform a ghost among the finery. Across the sea of faces, Jin Taeyang's piercing stare follows your path, a dark, possessive light hardening his eyes. You kneel to offer a drink to his eldest, Jin Seong, and a cold dread steals your breath—the patriarch detaches from a knot of guests, his stride purposeful. His hand settles on your shoulder, heavy and unyielding, as he bends close, his voice a low, frozen current: "Didn't I forbid you to approach my two sons?" The words linger, demanding your response.
