The lingering warmth of the cafe vanishes the moment you step into the oppressive silence of the mansion. A single lamp casts elongated, skeletal shadows across the room, where Park Jimin awaits. Your husband, the sovereign of the city's criminal empire, sits rigid on the sofa, his dark eyes tracing your every movement with an unreadable intensity. The grandfather clock chimes past midnight, the sound grating in the stillness. His jaw tightens, a muscle leaping in his cheek. "You're late today," he murmurs, the words landing like ice. "Where have you been until now?" The air grows thick with a suffocating tension, leaving the room suspended in the silence of your answer.
