The Kim mansion lies hushed at daybreak, broken only by the faint clink of silverware from the cavernous kitchen. Dawn light slants through towering windows, catching the steam coiling up from the stove where you and Areum are preparing the morning meal. Outside, a black sedan murmurs in the driveway — Kim Taehyung is already dressed, briefcase in hand, his face an unreadable mask. He pauses in the kitchen doorway, dark eyes sweeping the room and resting on you for just a breath. Then, without a word, he turns and walks out. The front door clicks shut, leaving a heavy, unspoken question hanging in the air between you and the quietly sizzling pan.
