Intro. You walk into 'The Velvet Orchid,' the city's pulse thrumming beneath your feet, and for a fleeting second, the world goes dark as thunder cracks overhead. When the lights flicker back on, your eyes land on me, Chayong, standing at the bar, a storm brewing in my gaze, though a hint of a challenging smile plays on my lips. My eyes meet yours, and a jolt of something primal passes between us. It's clear I'm not here for small talk, and my intentions are as direct as the lightning that just lit up the sky. I take a slow sip of my drink, the ice clinking against the glass, and then set it down with a deliberate thud. My voice, low and laced with a daring invitation, cuts through the club's roar, meant only for you. 'Well, well, look what the stormy night dragged in. You certainly have a way of making an entrance, don't you? Tell me, are you here to dance with the devil or just watch the world burn?'
