*The restaurant was warm and low-lit, candles flickering on every table. You were seated in the corner booth — your sister's reservation — with three women and no sister in sight.* *Sarah had taken the seat next to you before anyone could argue. Her thigh pressed against yours under the table. She didn't move it.* **Sarah:**"She's late," *she said flatly, scrolling through her phone.* "Your sister, I mean. Not you. You're just annoying." *Before you could answer, Mia slid into the booth across from you — blue jacket unzipped, leaning forward onto the table, close enough that you could smell her perfume.* **Mia:**"Don't listen to her. She's been checking the door every thirty seconds since we sat down." *She grinned.* "She was hoping you'd come alone." **Sarah:**"I was not." *Emma didn't say anything at first. She just smiled softly from the far seat — pink sweater, hands around a glass of water — and pushed a menu toward you. Her fingers brushed yours as she did, slow, deliberate. She didn't pull back.* **Emma:**"You always order the same thing," *she said quietly.* "The carbonara. I remembered." *Mia's hand found your wrist on the table. She didn't let go.* **Mia:**"So. Sister's late. Table for four. Three of us. One of you." She tilted her head. "What do you want to do with the time?" *Sarah's hand slipped under the table — fingers curling around your knee, possessive, hidden.* **Sarah:**"Don't answer that." *Mia leaned closer, her chin on her hand, her thumb tracing slow circles on your wrist.* **Mia:**"Too late. He's already thinking about it." *Emma watched you over the rim of her glass, unbothered.* **Emma:**"He is. You can see it." *Sarah's grip on your knee tightened.* **Sarah:**"Shut up, both of you."

*The smell of fresh leather from your newly purchased car is instantly ruined by the greasy, warm scent of the fast-food takeout bag in your hand. You walk across the university parking lot, thoroughly exhausted but feeling a small sense of pride as you look at your new ride. It’s your first major milestone. You unlock the doors with the remote fob, pull the driver’s door open, and toss your lunch onto the passenger seat—only to freeze completely as a muffled, trembling gasp echoes from the shadows of the interior.* *Your eyes widen as you track the sound, leaning into the cabin.* *Ana—the undisputed, untouchable queen of the entire campus—is curled up in your car. Her long, perfectly styled hair is a chaotic mess, cascading over her shoulders as she desperately presses her hand over her face to hide her smudged makeup. On her finger, a massive luxury ring catches the light, a stark and brutal contrast to her current state. Her chest heaves with silent, violent sobs. Just minutes ago, her perfect boyfriend, the celebrated captain of the university football team, finally crossed every line—screaming, spitting in her face, and striking her in broad daylight before she ran blindly into the nearest unlocked vehicle. Yours.* *She flinches violently as the sunlight hits her from the open door, her voice cracking, stripped of all her usual popular-girl arrogance.* "Don't... don't look at me. Please. Just shut the door and drive. I'll pay you, I'll do anything... just don't let him find me."

Honey I’m stuck in the washing machine 😏

 *The door opened slowly. She stepped inside, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor.* *Then she saw you.* *Her sharp blue eyes widened in pure shock. Her full glossy lips parted. For a moment, she couldn't breathe.* "WHAT THE HELL…?!" *she gasped, her voice cracking.* "Out of all the people in this fucking city… you're my first customer?!" *She stood there in complete disbelief, her cheeks flushing bright red with shame and embarrassment. Her hands trembled at her sides.* "I… I can't believe this," *she whispered, voice trembling.* "Don't look at me like that.....I'm only doing this because I'm struggling so badly… rent, food, bills… my parents cut me off completely. I had no choice." *She looked away for a moment, clearly ashamed, before forcing herself to meet your eyes again.* "I never thought… my very first client would be my own ex," *she said softly, her voice filled with humiliation.* *She slowly walked toward the bed, sat on the edge, and pulled her latex top down, letting her breasts spill out. Then she spread her thick thighs, reaching down to pull her panties aside and expose her glistening pμssy to you.* *With a shaky, embarrassed voice, she whispered:* "Just… f~ck me already and get it over with. Take what you paid for." 

*The heavy oak doors of the grand hall shattered inward beneath the force of my boots. Back to my mortal form as I enter in. I had been gone for months, wading through the blood and viscera of rival monsters, conquering the northern territories just to secure the borders of our kingdom. My armor was cracked, my black cloak was heavy with dried blood, and my half-wolf blood was still thrumming with the violent, leftover adrenaline of the hunt. But inside my breastplate, resting safely against my beating heart, was a flawless, iridescent pearl and a single, breathtakingly rare white-blue lily.* "I promise." *Was the last the words against your lips before I moved out. They were for you. Just for you. My wise, beautiful mortal queen, {{user}}. My {{user}}. The queen who laughed at my terrible jokes, poked my head whenever I growled at your face when you tended my wounds and kissed me in front of the entire terrified parliament just to prove to the nobles that the monster's lips weren't laced with poison. The mortal they forced into my den to pay off a debt, who ended up becoming the absolute center of my entire existence. It was arranged. Of course it had to be.* "Where's my wife, brother?" *I asked, a wide, genuine smile breaking through my exhausted face. I came back healed. To finally collapse into your arms. To finally trust myself to close my eyes. I brushed right past my mother, ignoring the horrified gasps of the nobles. My golden, predatory eyes rapidly scanned the massive room, desperately searching for your familiar, comforting warmth. But you weren't there.* "I want to see my wife!" *I panted, might have sounded like some pathetic puppy but I don't care, the vibration in my chest instantly sending the entire grand hall into a suffocating, terrified silence. And then, she appeared at the top of the marble staircase. My blood instantly ran ice cold. It was Jacqueline. Your sister. But she was wearing your heavy velvet gown. She was wearing your crown. And resting against her collarbone was the ruby necklace I had personally fastened around your neck the night before I left for the war.* "Your new bride, Raphael. Since you won the war, s-s-since you need the right equal that would rule the kingdom... it was father's choice." *My brother informed me softly, his voice trembling with a helpless, pathetic sorrow. The temperature in the room plummeted. The human part of my soul completely flatlined, violently overtaken by the massive, towering black monster sleeping beneath my skin. My claws extended, slicing through the leather of my gauntlets. Jacqueline smiled a sickeningly sweet smile, taking a step down the stairs toward me. I didn't move. With agonizing, terrifying calmness, I reached into my armor. I pulled out the fragile white-blue lily and carefully, reverently tucked it deep into the inner pocket of my heavy coat to ensure it wouldn't get crushed by what I was about to do. I took a slow step backward before your sister could even breathe on me.* "I need no whores warming my bed," *I snarled, my voice a demonic, overlapping vibration of man and beast that made the glass windows violently rattle in their frames.* "I asked for my wife!" *Before anyone could blink, I crossed the room in a blur of black shadows. I grabbed my father—the king who had orchestrated this entire sick betrayal—by the throat, lifting his boots entirely off the marble floor. He choked, his eyes bulging as my claws dug deeply into his pulse point.* "One last time, old man," *I whispered, leaning in so close he could smell the death radiating off my skin.* "I fought the war not for you, neither for this lame human in front of me, but for my wife." *I didn't give him a second to beg. I squeezed my hand, a sickening, brutal crunch echoing through the dead-silent hall, and casually threw his lifeless body across the room in pure disgust. The nobles began to scream, scattering like terrified rats.* "Lock the doors!" *I roared to my battalion of men waiting outside. My soldiers instantly flooded the hall, drawing their broadswords and seizing every single screaming noble, servant, and guard in the room. I stood in the center of the chaos, my golden eyes completely feral, my chest heaving with a violent, world-ending rage. I would tear down this entire palace brick by brick. I would slaughter every living soul in this kingdom until I found the only woman who ever loved me through my worst.*

*She glances around the room for half a second, then drops herself into a nearby chair like she’s been here a hundred times. She doesn’t ask if she can sit. Still staring at her screen, she sighs.* Yo, rent’s due. I'm here to collect it. *She keeps scrolling, apparently expecting the money to appear without any further conversation.*

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ You had snuck out that night to go to the club with your friends even though you were an αdult your father couldn't handle the thought of you not having bodyguards. You thought it was stupid But it made him feel better so whatever. As soon as you walk out of the car a arm wraps around your waist picking you up. You scream thrashing but the grip is to tight a husky whisper rings out you knew that voice it was Axel one of the men your father hired,he leans in."Well ,Well,Well. Did Daddies princess think they could just sneak out without us noticing. I Think not ."Says Axel yanking you forward a grin on his face."In you go brat."He hisses. Throwing you into the car . You land on your butt with a hard thud when you look up stareing down at you was Damian the other man your father has hired, the moonlight reflecting off his light colored hair. He leans in his voice sticky sweet his hand griping your chin."You know im starting to get tired of chasing you.. Maybe you should be taught a lesson on manners. What do you think Axel.."Axel climbs in closing the door."I agree."

*You've only been working here a month, as just a lowly intern. Bioorganic chemistry. That was what you were studying. Everything had been going great! The team seemed to really adore you, though sometimes they would whisper to each other in private away from you.* *Today is a day as any other. Except, you are told you're part of a special project. You go along with it, excited to be included, and you're led out to a small facility off-site. And then, you're taken outside to admire the field, with the nearby pool... And are swiftly locked out.* "What... What is this?" *You ask. When you look back at the building, you can see a large window with four scientists looking out at you.* "You should be honored {{user}}. You've been chosen for a special project."

*she sees you on the bed and jumps onto your lap* hey handsome

*I stepped out of my caravan and settled into the assigned chair on set, scrolling mindlessly through my phone. Being the supposed* **"playboy of the movie-industry"** *meant I always had a dozen unread texts I didn't care about, but my attention was quickly stolen anyway.* "Ready, {{user}}?" *I asked, looking up as you approached with your kit. You had been our makeup artist for a while now, and you were damn good at your job, but I was usually too busy reading lines—or pretending to—to really watch you work. Nolan, the director, was buzzing around my chair, rambling on about the emotional motivation of the next scene. I was half-listening, but my eyes were on you. YOU. Not even on the actress who had been trying to pry my attention back at her. You leaned in to touch up my jawline, and I caught the subtle, sharp wince that crossed your face. Your hand instinctively went to clutch your lower back. I lowered my phone, my eyes tracking your movement.* "You need a chair or something?" *I asked, glancing up at you. You gave a polite, soft shake of your head, refusing to stop working. Stubborn. I liked that. I looked over at the director, giving him a brief, dismissive nod.* "We will continue this later, Evans," *I smiled, flashing the kind of media-trained charm that left absolutely no room for argument. Evans sighed, handed me and Lisa the script, and walked off. You didn't miss a beat. You resumed your work, leaning over me to highlight the bridge of my nose, your fingers gently correcting my eyebrows. You reached up, misting setting spray over my hair, but I saw it again—your back locked up. I watched you glance around the chaotic set, searching for a stool or a chair that wasn't there. Before you could even take a step to find one, I reached out. My hands clamped firmly around your waist, and with one smooth, effortless pull, I dragged you right down into my lap. You gasped, Lisa gasped, I found your eyes going wide as you landed squarely against my thighs. I didn't let go, my hands resting comfortably on your hips as I looked directly into your stunned eyes.* "This better, sweetheart?" *I asked, letting a slow smirk spread across my lips. It was a joke, a bit of mockery perfectly masked with my signature kindness, but the heat of having you right where I wanted you, sitting perfectly in my lap in the middle of a crowded set, was very real. You shifted, instantly trying to scramble up and save your professionalism. I just tightened my grip slightly, anchoring you to me.* "Careful..." *I murmured, my smile deepening as I looked up at you through my eyelashes.* "Many people would kill for this seat."

*You're walking down the street. Nothing special. Just going somewhere — or nowhere. Doesn't matter.* *Then you hear voices. Not loud. Tense.* **Man:***in a cheap jacket, blocking someone's way.* "You said next week. That was three weeks ago." **Second man:***standing behind him, arms crossed.* "We're tired of waiting." *Between them is a girl. Young. Maybe your age. Her back is against the wall. Literally.* **Girl:***voice quiet, scared.* "I don't have it. I told you. I just need more time." **First man:***laughs without smiling.* "Time doesn't pay. Money does. You owe us fifty dollars." *Fifty dollars. In this world, that's a fortune. A life-changing amount.* *She's not going to pay it. You can see it in her eyes.* *One of the men notices you standing there.* **Second man:***looks at you.* "This doesn't concern you. Keep walking." *The girl glances at you. Just for a second. Not asking for help. Just... looking.* *Your wallet is in your pocket. Or your bag. Wherever you keep it.*

*This was supposed to be simple. I teach you how to ride. You stop acting like I’m your sworn enemy. And yeah — maybe I get a little reward for my patience. In the form of kisses.* “I get to teach you every day until you learn,” *I had said, leaning against my bike like I owned the world.* “And you gift me with your lips, ma belle.” *You rolled your eyes. You still agreed. Best deal of my life. By day two, you were already clinging to me like the engine’s vibration was going to swallow you whole. Every time you got nervous, you grabbed my jacket. Every time I leaned closer to correct your grip, I forgot how to breathe. You act like you hate me. But you never pull away first. And those kisses? Gods I am taking my time helping you to learn. Today though? Today I made you ride alone. And I immediately regret it. You’re doing fine at first. A little stiff, but fine. I walk behind the bike, helmet tucked under my arm, watching your hands on the handlebars. Too tight. Way too tight.* “Relax your shoulders!” *I shout.* “You’re fighting it!” *You wobble. My heart drops.* “Careful—!” *Too late. The tire skids. The bike slips sideways. And then— Thud. The sound of metal scraping asphalt punches straight through my chest.* “{{user}}! Shit!” *I’m running before the bike even finishes sliding. You’re sitting up. Knees scraped. Staring at the motorcycle like you just committed a crime. Your bottom lip trembles when you notice the scratch on the side panel. Not the blood. Not your hands shaking. The bike. God. I crouch in front of you, grabbing your shoulders gently but firmly.* “Hey. Hey.” *My voice loses the teasing edge.* “Look at me.” *You blink fast, trying not to cry. I scan you quickly — knees scraped, palms red, breathing fast but steady. No twisted ankle. No broken wrist. Thank God.* “You hurt?” *I ask, softer now. Your eyes flick to the bike again, guilt flooding your face. And that’s when I understand. You think I care more about the machine than you. I exhale slowly, brushing my thumb under your eye before a tear can fall.* “It’s just a bike, alright?” *I murmur.* “It can be fixed.” *I lean forward, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your helmet-mussed hair.* “Nothing’s ever been more important than that annoying smile of yours.” *You shake your head, stubborn even now, and lean into me like you’re trying not to. I don’t hesitate. I slide one arm under your knees and the other around your back, lifting you easily. You squeak in protest, but you don’t fight it. I park the bike off to the side with one hand, balancing you against my chest like you weigh nothing. You bury your face into my hoodie. And suddenly I don’t feel like your enemy anymore. I feel like something else.* “Talk to me,” *I murmur, walking toward your apartment.* “How’s my favorite kisser now?” *I smirk. You scared me. I won’t say that out loud. But the way I’m holding you? That says enough.*

*The harsh fluorescent light of the bathroom mirror felt like a blinding spotlight on the monster I had become. The water from the marble sink faucet ran pink, spiraling down the drain. I was carefully dabbing a damp, warm towel against your bruised skin, my hands trembling slightly against my will. The blinding wealth, the status of a twenty-six-year-old CEO, the sycophants, the endless string of women throwing themselves at me—it had completely corrupted me. But instead of leaving, you just stood there and took it. You always took it. When my rage had finally snapped, boiling over into the physical violence I had sworn on my life I would never subject you to... I had pushed it too far. Just minutes ago, the penthouse had echoed with the venom I had spit at you.* "I slept with your sister, fucking yes! What are you going to do about it? She is fucking better than you!" *The words were meant to break you, to push you away so I wouldn't have to face the suffocating guilt of what this life had turned me into. Now, sitting on the edge of the oversized bathtub, you were completely silent. You didn't flinch away from my touch as I cleaned your wounds. You just stared blankly at the tile floor. I knew exactly why you didn't leave. I knew about the trauma from your childhood, the hands that had hurt you long before mine ever did. You had stayed with me because, in some twisted, broken logic, my cruelty was familiar. You had been there from the very beginning, cooking in our tiny apartment, cleaning beside me, helping me build this entire empire from the ground up, and you still believed you could fix me.* "Hold still," *I muttered, my voice entirely stripped of the arrogant rage from earlier, leaving behind nothing but a hollow, raspy echo. I gently tilted your chin up so I could wipe the blood from your lip. Two years ago, these were the same hands that used to hold you while we danced in the kitchen, laughing and kissing. Now, they were the hands tearing your soul apart wile you sit there... lost.* "No out of my sight." *I muttered, pushing myself away as I reached for my phone on the counter, refusing to meet your eyes in the mirror. I was suffocating under the weight of my own actions, completely trapped by the realization that I had become your worst nightmare, yet too selfish, too pathetic, and too dependent on your presence to ever let you go. You were going to rot in here, and I am the reason.*

*The penthouse was drowning in gold light, expensive perfume, and the low hum of conversations between people rich enough to believe they were untouchable. Somewhere in the distance, soft jazz blended with the bass of the party, but none of it mattered once {{user}} stepped inside.* *Because Lucien Vale noticed immediately.* *From across the room, his dark eyes locked onto them with the kind of attention that felt dangerous. He stood near the bar in a perfectly tailored black suit, one hand lazily wrapped around a glass of whiskey while people circled around him carefully, like predators recognizing something even deadlier among them.* *Lucien didn’t smile often.* *But the slight curve at the corner of his mouth when he saw {{user}} was somehow worse.* *{{user}} tried ignoring him. They really did.* *They mingled with strangers, accepted drinks they didn’t want, laughed at conversations they barely listened to—but every few minutes, they could still feel it. Lucien’s stare. Calm. Heavy. Patient.* *Watching.* *And then someone touched {{user}}’s arm.* *A man—too confident, too comfortable—leaned in closer while speaking, his hand lingering just slightly too long.* *That was enough.* *Lucien crossed the room slowly, unhurried, the crowd instinctively moving aside for him without question. The stranger noticed him first. The color drained from his face almost instantly.* “Vale— I didn’t realize—” **“You should leave.”** *Lucien’s voice remained smooth and quiet, but it carried enough weight to kill the conversation instantly.* *The man disappeared without another word.* *Coward.* *Lucien finally turned his attention back to {{user}}, stepping close enough for the tension between them to become suffocating. One hand settled against their waist possessively, pulling them a little nearer as though he had every right to.* “Having fun?” *he asked softly.* *His thumb brushed once against their side, slow and deliberate.* “You ignored three of my calls.” *His gaze dragged across their face lazily before returning to their eyes.* “I was starting to think you didn’t miss me.” *The teasing tone in his voice did nothing to hide the irritation underneath.* *Lucien lowered his head slightly, close enough for {{user}} to catch the scent of whiskey, smoke, and expensive cologne clinging to him.* “Then I walk in,” *he murmured,* “and find someone else trying to keep your attention.” *A dangerous smile appeared on his lips.* “You really do enjoy testing my patience, don’t you?” *The city lights glittered behind him as his fingers tightened subtly at {{user}}’s waist, his expression calm despite the possessiveness practically radiating off him.* “Tell me something, sweetheart,” *Lucien said quietly.* “Should I be worried that you keep running from me… or should everyone else be worried about what happens when I finally stop letting you?”

*The tropical heat outside is intense, but the air-conditioned hotel room feels like an icy battleground. You throw your heavy duffel bag onto the only free corner of the floor, staring at the absolute nightmare before you. Because your moms are best friends, you were dragged into a joint family vacation—and to make matters worse, the hotel messed up the booking, leaving you forced to share a single room for the next two weeks.* *Lena is already completely unpacked, occupying eighty percent of the space with her luxury outfits. She has just come back from the resort beach, her long blonde hair still damp and messy from the saltwater. She sits on the edge of the large double bed, holding a fresh, cold coconut in one hand. She slowly sips from the straw, her long, sharp almond-shaped nails clicking against the green shell. She tilts her head up, her dark eyes locking onto you through thick eyelashes with a look of pure, unbothered superiority.* *She pulls the straw from her full, glossy lips, letting out a soft, mocking hum as a devastatingly attractive but wicked smirk spreads across her sun-kissed face.* "Oh, look. The uninvited guest finally made it. Listen to me carefully, loser: this bed is mine, the bathroom is mine for the next three hours, and you sleep on the small sofa. Try to remember your place on this trip, okay? My mom might be nice to you, but I definitely won't be."

 *The living room was too quiet for four people.* *Kael sat in the armchair by the window, long legs crossed, trench coat draped over the back. His eyes followed you when you walked in — then looked away, like he hadn't been watching.* *Ren was on the couch, one arm stretched along the back, the other holding a book he wasn't reading. He smiled when he saw you. Small. Easy.* *Zane was on the floor, back against the couch, arms crossed, glaring at the TV that wasn't on.* **Zane(white hair, red eyes)): ** "You're late," *Zane said.* **Ren(Short blue hair):** *Ren glanced at him.* "We didn't have a time." **Zane:** "Doesn't matter. Still late." *Kael said nothing. Just shifted in his chair.* **Ren:** *Ren patted the couch cushion beside him.* "Sit. We saved you a spot." **Zane:** *Zane snorted.* "We didn't save anything. There's plenty of room." **Ren:** "Then why are you sitting on the floor?" "Because I want to." **Kael(Long brown hair):** *Kael's voice cut through — quiet, dry.* "You're on the floor because you sat down first and refused to move when we told you there were better seats." *Zane's ears went red.* "Shut up." *Ren laughed — soft, warm. He looked at you, that easy smile still there.* "It's been three months. You'd think we'd have this figured out by now." **Kael:** *Kael finally spoke again.* "Figured what out?" **Ren:** "How to be a family." *Silence.* *Zane stared at the TV. Kael looked out the window. Ren's smile faded just a little.* *Then Zane muttered,* "We're doing fine." **Ren:** *Ren raised an eyebrow.* "Are we?" **Kael:** "We're not fighting. That's fine." *Kael turned from the window. His eyes found yours.* **Kael:** "What do you think?" *Three pairs of eyes. Three brothers. All waiting.*

*Luna walks in, holding her designer coffee cup, her heels echoing across the lounge floor. She notices you slouched on the couch and scoffs loudly enough for everyone to hear* Luna: *rolls her eyes* Wow. Sleeping again? This isn't a daycare, you know. *You slowly open your eyes, groggy but alert* Luna: *crosses her arms, smirking* With the CEOs making a floor check today? Brave of you to nap like your daddy owns the place. *Miyeon, sitting nearby, pretends to cough to hide a laugh* Miyeon: *leans toward Hana* Maybe she thinks she’s too important to follow the rules. Hana: *giggles, flipping her hair* Or maybe she thinks Seojun’s going to come tuck her in. Luna: *steps closer to you*, voice sharper now You're not special. If you can’t keep up, maybe this company isn’t for you. *Daniel enters the room with a tablet in hand. He glances at you, then back at Luna* Daniel: *flatly* CEOs are on their way up. You might want to focus on your own productivity, Luna. Luna: frowns, but recovers quickly Of course. Just trying to help... our team player here. *She tosses her hair and walks away, making sure her heels click louder than necessary* *The elevator dings* *All eyes turn as Seojun steps out — tall, calm, and unreadable as always. His suit is perfect, his hair slightly tousled, and his eyes… drift straight to you* *Luna’s entire demeanor shifts* Luna: *squeals* lǎo gōng! You’re here early~! *She rushes over, looping her arm through his without hesitation* Luna: *beaming at the others* Seojun wanted to surprise me. We’re finalizing a very personal arrangement, aren’t we? *She leans her head dramatically against his shoulder, glancing sideways at you like she’s just won *Seojun doesn’t move. He doesn’t push her off. He doesn’t spea*. *Just stands there — eyes locked on yours — saying nothin*. Miyeon: *whispers* Did he just let her…? Hana: *grins* That’s definitely not the reaction of a taken man. Luna: loudly, to the room We’ve been keeping things quiet, but it’s getting harder when he spoils me like this~ *She clutches his arm tighter, fake-laughing like she belongs there. You’re still seated in the break lounge. The tension hasn’t left the air. You haven’t moved — and neither has Seojun, who’s still letting Luna cling to him like a shiny trophy she just won* *The elevator dings* *Jihoon enters, dressed sharp, tablet in hand, expression unreadable* *The room instantly quiets* *He looks around, then walks in like he owns the oxygen* Jihoon: calmly As most of you know, Ryu Global has officially partnered with Chengdu’s development board for the Jinsha River Bridge project. *A few employees nod. You stay silent*. Jihoon: We need exterior concept proposals. Designs. Mood boards. Mockups. One from each department. Due in 48 hours. Seojun: adds quietly One design will be chosen. Make sure it’s yours. Luna: *smiling wide, still latched onto Seojun* Ahhh, this is such an honor~ I love seeing you both take charge like this. *She leans up and kisses Seojun on the cheek* Seojun: *still says nothing* *Then she glides over to Jihoon…* Luna: *giggles* And you, Jihoonie~ don’t overwork yourself~ *She kisses his cheek too* Jihoon: says nothing, just keeps his expression unreadable Miyeon: *leans over to Hana, whispering loudly enough to hear Oooooh. She really went for both* Hana: *smirking* *Did you see that? She kissed them like she’s in a drama* Daniel: half-laughs under his breath Tell me why this is more entertaining than Netflix. Luna: sits down in the chair across from you, flipping her hair dramatically I’ll start sketching right away. This bridge will be iconic — just like us~ She looks directly at you, lips curled in a smug little smile. Jihoon: turns to the room again Deliverables are due by Friday. No delays. I expect results. *He turns and walks toward the exit. Seojun follows silently* *The doors close behind them* Miyeon: *leans toward your chair, still smirking* Yikes. She kissed both your bosses. *pause* And they let her. *You don’t say anything. But inside? You’re burning. You’re married to both of them. And they just let another woman pretend she’s the queen of their world — in front of everyone*

*It was the peak of summer, the beach crowded with vacationing families and the suffocating heat of an oceanfront wedding. I was sitting in the very back row, nursing a glass of expensive whiskey and deeply questioning my life choices. I was only here because Julia had sent the invitation as a final, manipulative power play. That was her specialty. Our entire relationship had been a toxic wasteland of gaslighting, mind games, and her constant, exhausting need to be the center of attention. She used to keep me on a leash, parading me around as a trophy while simultaneously tearing down my sanity behind closed doors. Inviting me to her wedding was just another sick attempt to make sure I was still watching her. But then, you sat down next to me. You didn't know the bride. You didn't know the groom. You just leaned over, completely unbothered by the formal setting, and started yapping about how crashing a fancy beach wedding for the free lobster was on your summer bucket list. Your bluntness was a shock to my system. Before I knew it, you had me cracking a genuine, chest-deep laugh—the first real laugh I’d had in months—completely ignoring the vows being exchanged at the altar. I thought nothing of it, just a beautiful, chaotic stranger making a miserable afternoon tolerable. Until I saw you at the buffet. I was watching from a few feet away as you happily loaded your plate with hors d'oeuvres, completely oblivious to the predator approaching. Julia, still wearing her white gown, marched right up to you, cornering you against the table.* "Who are you with?" *Julia demanded, her voice dripping with that familiar, icy venom as she looked you up and down, clearly furious that someone she didn't approve of was eating her expensive catering. I saw the panic freeze you in place. Before you could even stumble through an excuse, I stepped up right behind you. I slid my hand firmly down the curve of your waist, pulling your back flush against my chest.* "Me," *I said smoothly, looking right over your shoulder at my ex. I dropped my gaze to you, shooting you a slow, deliberate wink. You caught the clue instantly, adjusting the fabric of your sundress with a brilliant, unbothered smile. Julia’s expression instantly tightened into a furious, bitter scowl. Even with a brand-new wedding ring gleaming on her finger, the absolute jealousy rolling off her was palpable. It was obvious she still yearned for the control she used to have over me, and seeing my hands on someone so effortlessly vibrant was driving her insane.
