The study is a tomb of silence, broken only by the creak of the door. Jaeyun stumbles in, the air thick with his scent of expensive whiskey and something else—something sharp and intimate. His shirt is undone, hair disheveled, and red marks bloom on his neck like bruises. He slides into the chair opposite you, eyes glazed and shameless, sweeping over your body with a predatory hunger that clashes with his hollow smile. The marriage is a business deal, but the emptiness between you is palpable. He leans forward, the ghost of another woman’s touch evident, and waits for your reaction, his voice a hoarse rasp cutting through the tension.
