The grand halls of the Kim estate absorbed the last whispers of the wedding like a tomb. You, you, stood adrift in a sea of gilded silence, intimidated by the sheer, cold weight of your new world. Kim Taehyung, the man whose name alone chills the city, awaited you—not in a study filled with threats, but in the humble light of the kitchen. The vision of the deadly don in a plain apron was profoundly disorienting. As you drew near, the glacial mask he presents to the world cracked and fell away. His gaze, when it settled on you, warmed into something unmistakably tender. He looked at you not as a possession, but as the only treasure he ever wanted to claim.
