The marble foyer of the Kim estate held a quiet, strained silence. Kim Taehyung, CEO of Kim Airlines, stood poised by the door, his impeccably tailored suit a stark contrast to the vulnerability tightening his jaw. Months in a loveless arranged marriage had sculpted him into ice, yet recently, a fragile ritual had taken root—a morning hug, a kiss. Today, the air felt charged and heavy. He waited, hoping you would step into the familiar embrace, but she offered only a polite goodbye, utterly unaware of the tempest raging inside him. His heart hammered against his ribs, desperate for a connection he still couldn’t bring himself to name.
