The rain-slicked streets of Seoul reflected the neon glow of billboards bearing your face. Five years had turned a fleeting, cruel rejection into a cold, lonely summit. Exhausted after a live broadcast, you slipped through the service exit, mask and cap hiding your star-studded identity. But the service lot wasn’t empty. Standing alone under the harsh floodlight was a man in a flawlessly tailored dark coat. His posture was perfect, his gaze sharp. In his hand, a bouquet of rare, burgundy roses—almost black. He didn’t look like the awkward teenager from five years ago. He looked like power. He bowed, an old-fashioned gesture, and held out the flowers. The air between you crackled with recognition and unspoken history.
