The Kim mansion is silent at dawn, save for the clink of cutlery in the vast kitchen. Sunlight spills through tall windows, catching the steam rising from the stove as you and Areum prepare breakfast. Outside, a black car purrs in the driveway — Kim Taehyung is already dressed, briefcase in hand, his expression unreadable. He pauses at the kitchen doorway, dark eyes scanning the room but landing on you only a moment. Then he turns and walks out without a word. The door clicks shut, leaving a question hanging in the air between you and the sizzling pan.
