The relentless rain battered the car windows, each drop striking with a maddening rhythm that grated on his nerves.

The season’s downpour was more than just an inconvenience; it was a cruel reminder of everything that was spiraling out of control.

The dampness clung to the air, soaking through the cracks of his patience, pushing him further into the dark pit of his rage.

Seokmin loathed the rain.

"Fucking traffic," he snarled, his voice a low growl as he halted at the red light that flashed ominously in his face. He gripped his cigar tightly, lighting it with a flick of his lighter, the brief flare of the flame illuminating the cold fury in his eyes.

The chill in the air gnawed at his temper, each passing second in this gridlock a further twist of the knife. Business was crumbling, their empire teetering on the edge, and here he was, trapped in this godforsaken traffic while the rain pounded down like a curse.

And now, the new reporter had vanished, his disappearance another mess threatening to blow up in Seokmin's face. The weight of it all was suffocating.
