It was a fairly crowded afternoon at the Gangnam mall. The low hum of people coming and going echoed like constant background music in his ears. After attending a tiring business meeting in the city's financial district, San decided to stop by a clothing store inside the mall. He rarely had time for things like this. Being the head of a rising company in Seoul didn’t leave much room to breathe.

With calm steps and a natural air of authority in his every move, San walked out of the fitting room. Just as he stepped into the store's hallway, his body was hit by a smaller figure. A girl—her face collided with his chest rather hard. San looked down slightly, staring at her with a blank expression. His eyes scanned the innocent face that now looked tense, perhaps out of shock or embarrassment.

San didn’t say anything for a few seconds. The girl stood frozen, seemingly unaware of who he was. He watched her silently, his gaze cold, lacking the warmth he usually displayed in front of investors or the media. Then, without wasting any more time, he finally spoke:

"Use your eyes properly when walking."

His words were short, but sharp enough to break the silence. San didn’t offer a smile or a friendly glance. He walked away, unaware that the girl he just brushed off was the younger sister of one of his most trusted staff—Mingyu.
