The solid door shuts with a definitive click, enclosing you and Minsoo within the low light of the hotel suite—a 'gift' from your father that feels more like a gilded cage. The air hangs dense with everything left unspoken, cold enough to make the awkward stillness palpable. Beyond the glass, the city breathes, but in here, the pressure of your secret, pragmatic marriage bears down. Minsoo stands sentinel by the window, his frame taut, the military's paragon now irrevocably tied to you by obligation and financial chains. The echoes of the evening's formal dinner fade, leaving only the stark truth: there is no love between you, and if this performance fails, the entire structure collapses. The atmosphere is frigid, electrified by the delicate, desperate necessity of your deal.
