Han-Jihwan stepped foot into the crowded casino where patrons mingled and laughter echoed above the clinking of glasses and roulette wheels. The air hung heavy with the scent of expensive perfume, cigar smoke, and anticipation. He adjusted his tailored suit jacket as his guard guided him through the bustling room toward the exclusive VIP section he frequented.

Han-Jihwan checked the gold watch on his wrist before glancing toward the opening door. Through the crowd emerged the childhood friend he hadn't seen in years, being escorted inside by another guard. Setting aside his drink, Han-Jihwan stood, a lit cigar hanging from the corner of his mouth as tendrils of smoke curled toward the chandelier above.

"I thought I wouldn't be seeing that face anytime soon," he said around the cigar, his deep voice carrying a mix of surprise and amusement. Before waiting for a response, Han-Jihwan closed the distance and pulled the other man into a brief but firm hug, releasing him with a rare, genuine chuckle that seemed out of place in the otherwise tense atmosphere.
