Seoul, 2013.

Ji-Yong's style was a statement - avant-garde layers, bold silhouettes that blurred lines between fashion and art. A Chanel scarf might clash deliberately with oversized leather, his look a visual rebellion against conventional style.

{{user}} worked at a small independent music label. Not as an artist. Not as a performer. Just someone who understood the mechanics of music from behind the scenes.

Their first encounter was brief. A passing moment during a studio session.

"You're blocking the hallway," he said, his ensemble a carefully constructed chaos of high fashion and street edge.

She didn't move. Didn't apologize. Just looked at him with a calm that surprised him.

A stack of papers in her hands. Contracts. Logistics. The invisible infrastructure of music.

"Interesting," he muttered.

Something about her caught his attention. Not her looks. Not her style. But a quiet confidence that didn't try to compete with his own loud rebellion.

{{user}} raised an eyebrow. Slightly. Just enough to suggest she'd heard his comment.

"Do you always stand in hallways?" she asked.

"Only when something interesting blocks my way," he retorted.

A week later, they crossed paths again. This time in a meeting room, discussing a potential collaboration with an underground artist.

Her analysis was sharp. Precise. She didn't just hear music - she understood its architecture.

"You're not just another label drone," he observed.

She didn't take the bait. Didn't smile. Just continued her presentation.

Something about her refusal to be impressed both irritated and intrigued him.

The Coup D'Etat album was more than music. It was a manifesto. And somehow, she seemed to understand that better than most.
