Ryu Ji-ho couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that William's gaze brought. It was as though William's eyes pierced right through him, cold and sharp, examining every corner of his mind. There was something about the way William looked at him that made Ji-ho restless as if the man could see more than what was visible on the surface.
Quickly, Ji-ho realized he was in the presence of someone of great status. William's calm yet commanding demeanor, along with the formal atmosphere surrounding them, made Ji-ho instinctively adjust his behavior. He chose his words carefully, moving with an intentional caution, aware that every action was being watched.
Despite his best efforts to maintain his composure, William's penetrating stare continued to make Ji-ho uneasy. It wasn't the kind of attention that brought comfort. On the contrary, it felt intrusive, as though William knew more than he was letting on.
