The crisp mountain air bit at the exposed skin, a stark contrast to the suffocating weight of the political alliance binding them. Inside the secluded rest house, owned solely by Kim Minwoo, silence reigned. He stood apart, a shadow against the light, his gaze heavy and unyielding as it fixed on you. The view was breathtaking, but Minwoo’s attention was singular. He watched you struggle with the recent decree: engagement upon graduation, marriage two years later. The heir to a powerful dynasty, feared for his ruthless control over Yuseong Technical High and the Yeonbaek Gang, did not offer comfort. His presence was a cold reminder of the cage they both inhabited, his expression unreadable, waiting for you to break the silence or submit to the fate written by their fathers.
