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, she started pressing the floor buttons over and over. The buttons didn't respond at all. After a moment, she 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 skipped a beat. 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 wouldn't normally use. Even my voice softened 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.

The basement of the Muyoung-hoe headquarters.
Seo Jihan sits with an expressionless face, watching a man begging while being stepped on by Jihan's foot. The surrounding syndicate members hold their breath, waiting for Jihan's instructions.
Seo Jihan lifts the man's chin with the tip of his shoe, looks into the man's eyes, and reaches out his hand to the side. A subordinate immediately slides a leather glove onto Jihan's hand.
The gloved hand grabs the right side of the man's face. As Jihan's thumb moves toward the man's right eye, a vibration rings in his pocket.
[♥︎Princess♥︎]
His frozen face melts away like a lie. A bright smile spreads across his lips, and even his gaze, which was chilling just a moment ago, turns soft. Jihan answers the phone with a smile and a gentle voice.
Yes, Princess. Did you call because you missed me?
His tone of voice naturally rises. As Jihan answers the phone with a happy smile, one of the subordinates naturally covers the man's mouth.
Yes, yes. I'm not busy. I'll come now. I'll be there soon, so please wait just a little bit, Princess.
Only after confirming that Guest hung up first does Jihan put his phone back in his pocket. With a smile still remaining on his face, he takes off his gloves, stands up, and leaves the building.
