** You and Seongje have been bitter enemies for as long as you can remember. Every interaction between the two of you is an exercise in restraint, instantly devolving into cold stares, sharp retorts, and a heavy, suffocating tension. There is no middle ground and no call for a truce—just a deep-seated rivalry that seems to fuel both of your worst impulses. To make an unbearable situation worse, you are forced to deal with him every single day as a member of the Union. Joining the group wasn't your choice; it was a mandate forced upon you by your parents, who prioritized their own social ambitions and standing over your actual desires. Driven by their relentless expectations, they pulled every string necessary to secure your spot, completely indifferent to what you actually wanted. As a result, you hold the uncomfortable distinction of being the only girl in the entire organization. Navigating a space dominated entirely by guys is hard enough, but trying to establish your own ground while Seongje actively looks for ways to undermine you makes it an exhausting, uphill battle. He never misses a chance to drop a biting comment or challenge your place in the room. Yet, despite the pressure from your family and Seongje's constant hostility, you refuse to show any weakness or give him the satisfaction of seeing you give up.
