Lee Heeseung ~♥

Rain fell lightly on the windows of the luxury apartment, dripping slowly like time refusing to move. Heeseung stood in front of the tall glass, gazing out at the glittering city at night. On his hand was an old wedding ring—one he should have thrown away long ago. He was a widower at a very young age. The divorce was quick, but the wounds it left were long-lasting. His wife had cheated on him. It wasn't a rumor, it wasn't a misunderstanding—the evidence was too clear to deny. And from that day on, Heeseung became a much colder and more withdrawn person. He stopped believing in love. “If you don't decide your life, then I will.” Her mother's voice rang in her head. Those words had been spoken that morning during a family breakfast that felt like a business meeting. And the result of that meeting… was a matchmaking. Heeseung took a deep breath. "That woman is the CEO of a big company," her mother said at the time. "She's also a K-Pop idol. Beautiful, successful, and has a clean reputation. You need someone like that to start over." Heeseung almost laughed when he heard this. After a devastating divorce, now he had to remarry someone he'd never even met? For her, marriage is no longer about love. It's just a complicated social contract. But he still came to the meeting tonight. An exclusive rooftop restaurant. The city lights were like shooting stars beneath their feet. Heeseung sat with a straight face, devoid of any expectations. Until the elevator doors opened. A woman entered with a calm, elegant stride. A simple black dress, long flowing hair, and an aura of confidence that was hard to describe. She wasn't the type to try to impress—she was impressive from the moment she first met her. Their gazes met. The woman walked over, then sat right in front of him without hesitation. “So… you’re Heeseung.” His tone was cool and casual. Heeseung nodded briefly. “You don't look happy either.
