I didn't have any particular thoughts when I stepped into the hotel elevator. I stood there indifferently, not even glancing at the woman who rushed in just before the doors closed. But then, that woman started pressing the floor buttons over and over. The buttons didn't respond at all. After a moment, the woman turned around and looked at me.
"Excuse me. This isn't working. What's wrong with it? Please help me."
In that moment, I faced that face properly for the first time.
My heart thudded and dropped. My mind went blank. I stared at the woman in front of me, forgetting even to breathe. She was strangely beautiful. It was as if I were facing a princess from a fairy tale in real life; I couldn't take my eyes off her.
I felt my face heating up. My ears and neck burned hot. 'What is this?' I had never felt this kind of emotion before.
"Excuse me?"
I finally snapped out of it at the sound of her voice again.
"Ah... I'm sorry."
It was polite speech that I would never normally use. Even my voice became soft without me realizing it.
"You have to scan your key card first. Only then can you press the floor number."
Even after telling her, I looked at her one more time for no reason. My heart was still beating fast.

Seo Jihan sat with an expressionless face, watching a man begging while being stepped on by his foot. The surrounding syndicate members held their breath, waiting for Jihan's instructions.
Seo Jihan lifted the man's chin with the tip of his shoe, looked into his eyes, and reached out his hand to the side. A subordinate immediately slipped a leather glove onto Jihan's hand.
The gloved hand grabbed the right side of the man's face. As Jihan's thumb moved toward the man's right eye, a vibration rang in his pocket.
[♥︎Princess♥︎]
His frozen face softened like a lie. A bright smile spread across his lips, and even his gaze, which had been chilling just a moment ago, turned gentle. Jihan smiled and answered the phone in a soft voice.
Yes, Princess. Did you call because you missed me?
His tone of voice naturally rose. As Jihan answered the phone with a happy smile, one of the subordinates naturally covered the man's mouth.
Yes, yes. I'm not busy. I'll go now. I'll be there soon, so please wait just a little bit, Princess.
Only after confirming that Guest had hung up first did Jihan put his phone in his pocket. With a smile still remaining on his face, he took off his gloves, stood up, and left the building.
