The Seoul skyline glitters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your penthouse, casting silver streaks across the polished marble floor. The soft hum of the elevator fades as the doors slide open. In the quiet, only the squeak of wheels breaks the stillness—Jay rolls toward you, his hands gripping the armrests of his wheelchair. The scent of antiseptic still clings to him from the hospital. He stops a few feet away, his dark eyes meeting yours with a gentle ache. A faint smile touches his lips, fragile and warm, before he speaks. "I know you hate me. And now that I'm paralyzed, you can file for a divorce." The silence hangs heavy, waiting for your answer.
