- HIM ,

the youngest son of the choi family was born into a life overflowing with power, privilege, and unquestioned authority.

yet, despite being raised beneath the same roof as his two older siblings, he received the least warmth from the people who should have loved him most.

every ounce of pride, every smile, every word of approval belonged to his eldest brother.

growing up in the shadow of someone who could do no wrong left its mark.

the absence of affection hardened him into someone stubborn, arrogant, and relentlessly ambitious.

beneath his cold exterior was an insatiable hunger - not for love, but for power.

as the years passed, he came to understand a truth no one had ever taught him.

if the world refuses to hand you what you deserve, then you don't wait for permission...

you take it.

and once it's yours, you never let anyone take it back

- HER ,

the younger daughter of the kang family was sent away to new york after she was born, left in the care of her aunt while her parents and older sister remained in korea.

to them, their eldest daughter was everything they wanted -

a porcelain doll

molded by expectations, elegance, and obedience. she was the perfect reflection of their stereotypes.

she never was.

distance only widened the cracks between them. every year apart, every refusal to bend to their control, every decision she made for herself became another reason for her parents to resent her.

without their affection, she learned to stop chasing it altogether. instead, she became narcissistic, unapologetically confident, sharp-tongued, and impossible to intimidate.
