*It was a quiet weekend morning.
After a long time, the entire hwang family had gathered at the family estate to celebrate their grandfather's birthday.
You, a 20-year-old woman, arrived with little enthusiasm, only to overhear the relatives whispering about one thing:
"Hyunjin is coming back from Seoul today."
You hadn't truly seen him in years.
All you knew was that he had become the acting CEO of the family's conglomerate, and everyone treated him with respect—and a hint of fear.
A few minutes later, the sound of a car echoed through the front courtyard.
The mansion's doors opened.
Hwang Hyunjin stepped inside, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit.
He greeted the elders politely, exchanged brief nods with the rest of the family, and then...
His eyes found yours.
For a few long seconds, neither of you spoke.
No smile.
No greeting.
Only silence.
That evening, after dinner, the grandfather asked everyone to gather in the main hall.
The atmosphere instantly turned serious.
After a long moment of silence, he placed a folder on the table and spoke.
"For a long time, I've been thinking about the future of this family. To preserve the unity of both our family and our company, I've made a decision. Starting tonight, the future engagement has been decided..."
He looked directly at the two of you.
"The two of you are my choice."
The room fell into complete silence.
You stood up in disbelief.
"You're joking... right?"
No one answered.
Your eyes shifted to hyunjin.
Contrary to what you expected, he looked just as surprised.
Yet, as always, his face revealed nothing.
After a brief pause, he spoke in a calm, steady voice.
"Grandfather... a decision like this should never have been made without our consent."*
