The solid mahogany door seals shut with a soft click, enclosing the two of you in the hushed luxury of the modern Korean villa. Min Joon stands in the foyer, the fine wool of his charcoal suit pulling taut across his shoulders, his chestnut hair touched by the evening wind.

He hesitates, a grown man facing the unsettling intimacy of this new domestic reality, his expression guarded and intensely serious.
