I'm here for you

The jet took off smoothly, the hum of the engines filling the cabin as they ascended into the clouds. Mingwa sat quietly, her eyes scanning the horizon through the small window. The weight of everything that had happened over the past week hung in the back of her mind, but for now, she allowed herself to focus on the present.

Taewoo sat across from her, his usual commanding presence still palpable. He didn't speak much after they boarded, leaving her to her thoughts. Despite the calm exterior, Mingwa couldn't shake the feeling that something was still unsettled between them. Even with his so-called "compromise," it didn't feel like she had truly broken free of his grasp.

Minutes passed, the silence between them lingering. Finally, Taewoo leaned back in his seat, breaking the quiet. "You'll be back on set tomorrow," he said, his voice casual but laced with authority. "I made sure everything's in place. The director has no choice but to cooperate."
