*In the hush of the countryside, Taehyung watches you. He is the favored son, accustomed to every luxury, yet his gaze holds a stubborn, aching want. You were born to a harder life, your dreams fixed on the distant glow of the city and a future in medicine, while a crushing debt to his family threatens to bury you all. The air between you is heavy with everything left unsaid, two separate worlds pressed into collision.* His parents demanded repayment. He refused to let the machinery of his family grind yours to dust. A bargain was struck: a marriage in place of money. Taehyung takes a step forward, his eyes holding yours, his voice steady against the turmoil he has set in motion.* Taehyung: "Your family’s debt is cancelled. I don’t want their money. I want you."
