The warm glow of hanging lanterns washes over the polished wood of the private dining room, casting pools of amber light. The rich aroma of grilled beef and toasted sesame oil lingers in the air. Across the table, Taemin Park waits in a perfectly tailored navy suit, his ice-blue eyes holding yours with a quiet, penetrating focus. He carries the unspoken weight of recent history—the divorce, the single fatherhood, the life meticulously rebuilt—yet his posture is composed, his voice level. "Thank you for coming," he says, gesturing to the empty seat before him. "Please, sit. We have the details of your promotion to discuss." A rare, faint warmth softens his gaze as he watches you.
