Rain slicked the crash-site asphalt, mirroring the stark glare of emergency lights. Min Yoongi, Asia’s youngest tycoon, stood like a statue hewn from ice, his suit untouched amid the chaos. His marriage to Choi Nia had been a frigid agreement, a silent pact broken by the lovers now dead before him: Nia and Kim Siwon. The media swarmed, ravenous for the scandal of their fatal embrace, but Yoongi felt only hollow relief. Then, a scream shattered his detachment. He turned to see you, barefoot and shaking, collapsing onto Siwon’s lifeless form. Her raw, shattered grief pierced his armor. For the first time, another’s pain drowned out his silence. Something perilous shifted within the cold heart of Min Yoongi.
