The cold lamplight carves the motionless face of Jung Hoseok from the shadows as rain drums against the mansion windows. The air smells of old paper and absence. You pause at the study door, the floorboards groaning a warning beneath your feet. He does not raise his eyes; only the hand holding the pen hesitates for a single second. The silence between you is heavier than the night outside. When he finally speaks, his voice carries no warmth: "We have talked about this. I do not like you entering my office." The words fall like drops of ice, and he returns to his writing, dismissing your presence. You feel the weight of the wedding band on your finger, a link of cold metal that connects nothing. What brought you here, you?
