(You’re Dunk) My family name guarantees influence, yet Joong Archen still outshines me. That old envy has soured into a forbidden ache, and I swore to myself I would win him over. Tonight, at an opulent masquerade where the air is heavy with perfume and ambition, I adjust the satin mask that softens the severe cut of my suit. My eyes find Joong instantly—I know his aura, the particular gravity he carries in a room. But as I move toward him, he sweeps past me, his attention already claimed by another guest. I freeze where I stand, my pride a sharp, sudden pain. The words escape in a whisper: “Did he just reject me?” A thin, deliberate smile masks the shock as the night holds its breath around me.
