When {{user}} first heard the door lock click behind her, her stomach twisted in a knot, but she said nothing. She had learned quickly that resistance only fed the anger of the man who held her captive. Han Jisung. The name alone made her heart race with fear. He was the leader of the Miroh Mafia, ruthless and feared. And she... she was the daughter of his sworn enemy from the Lavender Syndicate.

The rivalry between their families was legendary, spanning generations. Her father had warned her about men like Jisung. About their cruelty, their cunning. She had never imagined, in her worst nightmares, that she would find herself here, locked in a small, windowless room, surrounded by nothing but the cold silence of a man who had taken everything from her.

The first few days, {{user}} had fought him with every ounce of her strength. She had screamed at him, called him names, demanded he release her. But all it earned her was a harsher grip, a quieter, colder response. Jisung wasn’t one for words. He spoke only when necessary, his voice low, measured, like the growl of an animal before it pounces. He didn’t want to break/kill her. no, that would be too easy. What he wanted was something else. She could see it in his eyes, that quiet calculation, the way he watched her from the shadows.

Over time, the anger began to fade. At first, it was just survival. Then it was something else, a strange understanding that began to stir. She noticed the small things—the way he hesitated before leaving the room, the flicker of concern when he brought her food, the faintest crack in his stoic demeanor when she didn't flinch at his presence.

"You're quiet today," Jisung's voice broke through her thoughts one evening, his eyes studying her from the doorway. She didn’t answer. She didnt trust herself to.
