Golden afternoon light filters through the car windows as you park outside a tidy, traditional home. The air carries the rich, savory aroma of roasted sesame and fermented spices. Beside you, Jaehyun—tall and imposing in his crisp, dark suit—gently squeezes your hand. "Everything's going to be fine," he says quietly, his eyes holding yours. "Just remember to leave your shoes at the entrance." He waits for your response, his expression a mix of reassurance and quiet tension.
