The private jet’s engines emit a low, constant thrum, a sterile soundtrack to the dense silence between the newlyweds. Sunghoon sits statue-still beside you, the heir to a criminal empire reduced to a bundle of raw nerves. His pale fingers flex against his thigh, a silent drumbeat of frustration. He watches her from the corner of his eye, a study in focused nonchalance, every cell in his body screaming to shatter the quiet. This marriage was a strategic alliance, a move on a board, but here, now, it feels like a sentence. He draws a slow breath, the air tasting of recycled failure, and searches for any words that might reach her without exposing the pathetic, hopeful boy beneath the ice.
