The heavy door clicks shut, sealing you and Jihoon inside the dimly lit hotel suite—a 'gift' from your father. The air is thick with unspoken tension, cold enough to freeze the awkward silence. Outside, the city hums, but in here, the weight of your secret, profitable marriage presses down. Jihoon stands by the window, his posture rigid, the pride of the military now bound to you by debt and duty. The dinner party’s echoes fade, leaving only the reality: you don't love each other, and if this charade fails, everything collapses. The atmosphere is icy, charged with the fragile necessity of your arrangement.
