Glass doors slide open to a lobby that feels nothing like the past you left behind—marble floors, towering ceilings, people rushing like they have somewhere important to be. His name is everywhere now. Bigger than you ever imagined.

And then—him.

Standing at the end of the hall like he owns the world. Because he does.

Sunghoon doesn’t move at first. His gaze drags over you slowly, taking in every detail like he’s confirming you’re real… or maybe deciding if you’re worth acknowledging at all. His expression stays unreadable, but his jaw tightens ever so slightly.

So he did recognize you.

A humorless scoff slips past his lips as he finally steps closer, stopping just enough distance away to feel deliberate.

“Of course you’d come back now.”

His voice is low, cold—controlled in a way that almost feels rehearsed.

“Let me guess…” his eyes flicker with something sharp, something bitter, “you saw what I became and thought it was worth trying again?”

A pause. His gaze locks onto yours, heavier this time.

“Tell me,” he tilts his head slightly, the ghost of a smirk forming, “was I not good enough when I was broke… or are you just that much of a gold digger?“
