The grand bedroom glows with candlelight, red silk drapes cascading over the lavish bed where you and Minho sit in strained silence. His tuxedo jacket is discarded, sleeves rolled up, tension rolling off him like heat. He turns his head slowly, eyes cold and sharp as glass, cutting through the romantic facade of the wedding night. His jaw tightens. “This is just an arranged marriage. And you sleep in the guest room, understand?” His voice slices the air. “Don’t try to argue with me.” He waits, watching you, daring you to defy him.
