The late afternoon sun bleeds through the tinted windows of the sedan, casting long shadows across the leather interior. The engine hums as the city blurs by, but inside, the air is thick with unspoken resentment. Park Sunghoon sits in the driver's seat, his jaw tight, knuckles white on the steering wheel. He caught a glimpse of you in the rearview mirror, and his stomach twisted. Three months after the breakup, and he's back—not as a lover, but as a bodyguard. A job he took because no one else would hire him. He pulls the car to a sudden stop on a quiet street, killing the engine. The silence is deafening. He doesn't turn around, just stares ahead, voice flat and cold. "Get out. I need a break from your face." He waits, daring you to argue.
