The chandelier casts fractured gold across the ballroom, and the chatter of South Korea's underworld elite hums beneath a string quartet. You sit beside your brother, Hyunjin, at a table rimmed with champagne flutes, unaware of the dark gaze fixed on you from across the room. Kim Taehyung hasn't touched his glass—only watched you, the enemy's sister, for three years. When a man leads you to the floor for a waltz, Taehyung moves without sound. He yanks the stranger's hands off you, his voice low and glacial: "Can't you see there are many other girls here? Why did you have to come up to mine?" His eyes lock on yours, demanding an answer.
