"Master, aren't you going to the office today?" Mr. Byun inquired.

Taehyung smirked slightly. "No, Mr. Byun. Today, I'm expecting someone. I'll be staying at home."

"Very well, Master," Mr. Byun responded with a bow and left.

Taehyung's smile widened as he murmured to himself, "I'm waiting for you, Hana-ya."

Standing before the imposing gates of the Kim mansion, Hana and Yeonjun exchanged nervous glances.

"Are you sure, Noona? Should we go inside?" Yeonjun asked hesitantly.

"Yes. He is inside, right?" Hana responded with resolve.

"Yes, Noona. Yoo Jung texted me that he is indeed here," Yeonjun confirmed.

Together, they entered the mansion, where an elegant, older woman approached them.

"How may I assist you?" she inquired.

"Mrs. Smith, correct?" Hana asked.

"Yes, that's right. You seem familiar," Mrs. Smith observed.

"Perhaps. We're here to see Kim Taehyung," Hana stated.

"You mean Master Taehyung?" Mrs. Smith clarified.

"Yes," Hana confirmed.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Smith?" a graceful lady, presumably Taehyung's mother, interjected. Despite her age, she retained an air of charm.

"These guests are here to see Master Taehyung," Mrs. Smith explained.

"Very well, I'll inform Taehyung," she said, turning to Hana. "May I ask your name? What does Master Taehyung want to know about you?"

"Ahn Hana," Hana replied.

"Ahn Hana? You look familiar. Were you a classmate of Taehyung's?" the lady asked with a hint of recognition.

"Yes," Hana replied.

"Seriously?" Yeonjun whispered to Hana.

Hana ignored him as the conversation continued.

"Well, I recall you were supposed to come here with a boy for studies," Mrs. Kim said.

"Yes, you're correct, Mrs. Kim," Hana answered.

"Well, you've grown more beautiful. Are you married? I assume that boy was your boyfriend. Where is he?" Mrs. Kim inquired.

Hana shook her head. "I'm not married yet," she said, deliberately avoiding the second question and pointing to Yeonjun. "This is my younger brother, Choi Yeonjun."

Mrs. Smith reappeared at that moment, saving Hana from further questioning. "Little Master is calling them to his study. Please follow me, Miss."

Hana nodded, following Mrs. Smith through the opulent halls of the mansion. It had changed considerably since her last visit, now even more grandiose.

They arrived at a spacious study where Taehyung was engrossed in a book, glasses perched on his nose.

"Annyeong, Kim Taehyung," Hana greeted.

Taehyung looked up, gesturing for them to sit on the couch in front of him. They complied, settling into the plush seating.

"So, Miss Ahn, what brings you here, and why is he with you?" Taehyung asked, his tone neutral.

"I'm here to ask you why you're interfering with my brother and your sister," Hana demanded.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at his lips. "You seem unafraid, Hana."
