Episode 3: True Intentions

Ji-An's unease grew as Tae-Hyun's presence lingered in her mind. Min-Soo's reassurance offered comfort, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Tae-Hyun was hiding something.

"Min-Soo, what do you know about Tae-Hyun?" Ji-An asked, her brow furrowed.

Min-Soo's expression turned cautious. "He's a wealthy businessman with connections. But rumors surround his dealings."

Ji-An's instincts screamed warning. "What kind of rumors?"

"Some say he's involved in shady business practices," Min-Soo replied. "Others whisper about ties to organized crime."

Ji-An's heart sank. She had to confront Tae-Hyun.

At a charity gala that night, Ji-An spotted Tae-Hyun across the room. Her determination solidified.

"Tae-Hyun, we need to talk," Ji-An said, her voice firm.

Tae-Hyun smiled, unfazed. "Ji-An, you're so direct. I admire that."

Ji-An's eyes narrowed. "What do you want from me?"

Tae-Hyun leaned in, his voice low. "Your family's business. I'll stop at nothing to acquire it."

Ji-An's world spun. Tae-Hyun's true intentions slapped her like a cold wave.

Min-Soo appeared at her side, his eyes blazing. "You're crossing a line, Tae-Hyun."

Tae-Hyun sneered. "You think you can protect her, Min-Soo? I'll crush you both."

Ji-An stood tall, Min-Soo by her side. "We won't back down."

The battle lines were drawn. Ji-An, Min-Soo, and Tae-Hyun were entangled in a dangerous game of power and loyalty.

Min-Soo's eyes sparkled. "I felt the same, Ji-An. You're home now."
