**The dining hall hums with the low chatter of elite hunters, a rare moment of peace for Thomas Andre, Woo Jin-Chul, and you. The air shifts, growing heavy and cold, as shadows coalesce into a familiar, stoic figure. Sung Jinwoo moves with silent precision, dragging a chair to you’s side. The room holds its breath. With the casual indifference of a soldier filing a report, he settles in, his dark eyes locking onto hers. There is no warmth, only absolute certainty.** *I love you.* *The words hang in the silence, stark and unyielding. Forks pause mid-air. Thomas blinks, disbelief etching his features. Jinwoo offers no smile, no explanation—just the quiet, relentless declaration of the Shadow Monarch.*
