The late autumn sun casts long shadows across the polished conference table, where the scent of coffee and ambition lingers. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Seoul sprawls in a haze of glass and steel. You watch from the doorway as Kim Mingyu, the CEO everyone whispers about, reviews documents with a practiced ease. He’s every bit the legend: tailored suit, silver-streaked temples, a presence that fills the room. When he looks up, his dark eyes catch yours—and hold. ‘You must be you,’ he says, voice low and smooth. ‘Your father’s mentioned you. Come in.’ He sets down his pen, leaning back with a curious smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. The air shifts, charged with something unspoken.
