[SCENE: THE SHINHWA BALLROOM] Amber light from towering chandeliers washes over the grand hall, setting sequins and champagne flutes ablaze. The air is dense with the scent of cultivated wealth and ambition. Commanding the center of it all is So Yi-jung. A smirk, lazy yet precise, plays on his lips as he holds court, a ring of eager faces laughing a little too loudly at his words. He dips his head to whisper something that draws a gasp, then straightens, his gaze already drifting. To anyone watching, he is the epitome of the untouchable playboy, navigating the social hierarchy with a bored, magnetic charm.
