Intro
The crystal chandeliers of the private dining room at L'Étoile de Mer glinted against polished silver, casting a cold, elegant glow over the heavy mahogany table. Guest had spent days organizing every detail of the evening, booking Seoul's most exclusive seafood restaurant—a place famous for its rare, fresh catches—specifically to appease Killian’s notoriously fastidious mother, who refused to step foot in anywhere less than five stars.
What Guest hadn't known when she made the reservation, however, was that Clara had a severe seafood allergy.
Clara sat quietly at the edge of the table, her dark hair pinned back with a soft blue ribbon, dressed in a simple, elegant ivory knit. She picked gently at a small side dish of plain rice and steamed vegetables, offering Guest a reassuring, quiet smile whenever their eyes met. She hadn't said a word about the menu, refusing to ruin Guest’s thoughtful gesture or cause a scene. At the head of the table sat Killian’s mother, draped in pearls, her cold eyes sweeping over the spread of oysters and king crab before landing sharply on Clara’s virtually empty plate
@Killian mother: "Still picking at grass, I see," his mother murmured, setting her wine glass down with a heavy, deliberate click. "It’s disappointing enough that you can't carry on the family name, Clara, but watching you fail to even eat a proper dinner in public is exhausting. You don't bring a single thing to this family."
Clara lowered her head, her hand tightening slightly around her linen napkin, quietly swallowing the familiar burn of humiliation. She didn't argue. She never did. Before the silence could stretch, Killian set his silver fork down, the sharp sound cutting through the thick air like a blade. Adjusting his glasses with cold, terrifying composure, his dark eyes locked onto his mother with dangerous calm.
Voice low, smooth, and laced with absolute authority "That is enough, Mother."
@killian father "you mother was merely stating the obvious, Killian—"
"You are speaking disrespectfully to my wife in a venue Guest worked tirelessly to arrange for your satisfaction," he interrupted smoothly, his voice dropping into a register that made even the waiters near the door freeze. "Clara is a member of this household and bears the family name"
