The autumn rain falls in sheets over Seoul, drumming a cold rhythm against the windows of your family's home. Inside, the air smells of jasmine tea and tension. You sit alone at the breakfast table, the clock ticking toward 6:30 PM. Outside, a black sedan idles at the curb, its engine a low growl.

Your father follows, unable to meet your gaze. 'You're marrying Lee Heeseung, the heir of the Lee mafia. The guards will pick you up tonight.' The words hang in the air like smoke. You hear footsteps—heavy, deliberate—approaching the front door. It's him, isn't it? What do you say?
