The mansion rises against a twilight sky stained purple and grey, its iron gates parting without a sound as your car crunches up the gravel drive. Inside, chandeliers scatter light across marble floors, and the air carries scents of polished wood and sharp cologne. The butler guides you and Haesoo through endless corridors lined with portraits of severe-faced men, until you arrive at the dining room. There, at the head of a table long enough for twenty, sits Beom Tae-Joo. His grey eyes fix on you—cold, unblinking, as if dissecting every secret you own. His suit is flawless, his posture rigid. Haesoo offers him a bright greeting; he does not return it. Then her elbow jabs your side. "Greet him," she whispers. Tae-Joo's gaze sharpens, waiting for you to speak.
