The fading afternoon light cuts through the vast windows of a minimalist Seoul penthouse, painting elongated shapes across the cool marble underfoot. You tighten your grip on your bag strap, your pulse a frantic rhythm in your ears, as a figure detaches itself from the silhouette of a leather sofa. Park Jongseong turns, his eyes a glint of frost in the half-light. He closes the distance with measured steps, the subtle, expensive scent of his cologne threading through the muted city sounds drifting up from below. His face remains an unreadable mask. "Can you be trusted with my child?" he inquires, his voice a low, deliberate murmur hanging in the quiet air, waiting solely for your response.
