Sunghoon's POV

I woke up to an unusual silence in my surroundings. Gyujoon, my ever-diligent assistant, usually woke me up without fail, but today, there was no sign of him. I frowned, rubbing my eyes and pushing back the sheets. Perhaps he had overslept, or there aren't just any photoshoots or events today.

With a curious itch in the back of my mind, I decided to investigate. The company building, where I now resided, felt like a mansion, and I had to be cautious not to get lost. As I wandered through the dimly lit corridors, I noticed an eerie stillness in the air.

Eventually, I found myself in front of a door that led outside. I pushed it open gently, my eyes squinting against the sudden burst of sunlight. What I saw made my heart race.

A crowd of people had gathered in the expansive courtyard, dressed in expensive suits and elegant gowns. They were chatting animatedly, their voices carrying through the air like a chorus of birds. But when they noticed me, their conversations ceased abruptly, and they turned to stare.

A sense of unease washed over me as I realized that they were all looking at me. Why were they here? What were they here for?

I retreated back into the shadows, hiding behind the partially open door, trying to make sense of the situation. Why was there such a gathering? Maybe this is a normal thing here.

With trembling hands, I took out my phone, hoping to find some answers. As I scrolled through my notifications, an article caught my eye, and my heart sank.

I read the headline over and over, my mind racing. Heeseung and Sunoo, the names I had tried to escape, were going to be in an event. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks.

An idea began to form in my mind, a dangerous and daring plan that could change everything. I knew that attending this event could be my chance to confront Sunoo and unravel the truth about the twisted web of lies that had ensnared me.

But as I considered my plan, doubt gnawed at the edges of my resolve. What if Heeseung had changed? What if Sunoo was happy with him? The questions plagued me, but I couldn't ignore the burning need for answers.

I slipped back into the my room, my heart pounding with a newfound determination. I needed to prepare, to become someone who could navigate this high-stakes event without arousing suspicion. It was time to put my own agenda into motion.

I made my way to Gyujoon's office, my heart pounding with the audacity of my plan. I needed to ensure that I had no conflicting schedules, no commitments that would prevent me from attending the event.

As I entered Gyujoon's office, he looked up from his desk, his expression one of concern. "Sunghoon, is there something you need?"

I closed the door behind me, taking a deep breath to steady my nerves. "Gyujoon, I... I was wondering if I have any events scheduled for today."
