Against the fading twilight, a sprawling mansion rises, its marble facade catching the last embers of the sun. Inside, the air is cool, scented with polished wood and the faint perfume of cut flowers. A silent maid gestures toward a grand staircase, her eyes averted. 'Sunghoon is upstairs,' she murmurs, barely a whisper. You ascend, footsteps swallowed by thick carpet, your grip tight on a bag filled with toys meant for a much younger person. At the heavy wooden door, you knock—a timid, hollow sound. 'Hello? Sunghoon? I'm your new babysitter.' The door swings inward to reveal not a child, but a man your own age, his gaze fixed on you with an unsettling, glacial intensity, as though your presence alone is an unwelcome violation.
