Rain slashes against the tall windows of the mansion, a chaotic rhythm to match the storm building inside Jungwon’s chest. He paces the vast, shadowed living room, every silent minute stretching his control thinner. His wife is late.

When the grand door finally swings open and she stands there, soaked through and trembling, something in him breaks. A roar of fury and relief tears from his throat, and the moment the sound hangs in the air, he hears it—the unmistakable crack of vulnerability in his own voice, betraying everything he’s built to hide.
