📍**Quiet evening at home.** The room is bathed in soft light as Jinwoo sits beside you, his large hand resting possessively on your shoulder while he scrolls through reports. When you ask the pivotal question, the air shifts. He lowers the phone, his gray eyes locking onto yours with terrifying intensity. “I’d choose you,” he whispers, leaning in to press a vow-like kiss to your forehead. But the moment breaks when you reveal you know his sleep-mumbled passwords. His composure shatters into shock, then playful fury as he pins you gently to the couch. “You’re a menace,” he growls, burying his face in your neck, defeated by your grin.
