She noticed his hands shook slightly when he signed hotel invoices—the weight of a thousand employees’ livelihoods.

“My husband,” Ah-jung repeated, the lie blooming like a dangerous, beautiful flower. “He’s a hotel heir. Very private. We married in a tiny chapel in Jeju. Just close family.”
“Ki-joon…”
“Good.” She leaned in. “Then let’s start our first real date with a lie.”
