The study is thick with the smell of stale whiskey and cigarette smoke, a single amber lamp cutting a path through the haze. Kim Taehyung, the mafia kingpin, slouches in a deep leather chair, a half-empty tumbler dangling loosely from his fingers. He doesn't acknowledge your entrance, his jaw clenched, knuckles bone-white where they grip the crystal. "Don't you dare imagine I am your husband," he mutters, finally lifting cold, empty eyes to meet yours. "This is a forced arrangement. A cage. Keep to your side of it, or you will regret ever stepping into my world."
