Seoul’s winter held the city in a frozen grip, snow layering the streets of Gangnam as a low-slung sports car slid into the curving driveway of a glass-and-steel tower. Kim Taehyung stepped out, a twenty-nine-year-old who had built a billion-dollar empire from the ground up. His breath clouded in the frigid air. The elevator ride to the penthouse was a silent ascent through floors of shadow and light. His mind lingered on Jae-i, the cousin who occupied the other wing of his home. Their bond was a stable, emotionless fact—distant, yet anchoring. Outside the apartment door, he brushed a fleck of snow from his shoulder and rang the bell, listening to the echo in the lavish hallway.
