Chapter 2: Veil of Shadows

Joon-Ho's fascination with the hanbok and its otherworldly potential stems from a childhood encounter with the supernatural. Growing up in a secluded village on the outskirts of the dense Korean forests, he stumbled upon a hidden cavern where a mysterious entity revealed to him glimpses of ancient, forbidden knowledge. Haunted by the inexplicable visions and drawn to the allure of power beyond mortal comprehension, Joon-Ho became consumed by an insatiable thirst for supremacy.

As he delved deeper into the realm of dark magic and esoteric lore, Joon-Ho's path intertwined with the intricate tapestry of Hae-Won's family history, leading him to covet the hanbok as the key to unlocking his ambitions. However, beneath his facade of confidence and cunning, lies an inner turmoil, a gnawing emptiness that drives his relentless pursuit of the hanbok's secrets, blurring the boundaries between his own humanity and the malevolent forces that seek dominion over both the mortal and spirit realms.

Joon-Ho's past was shrouded in a series of calculated cons and artful manipulations, woven with a cunning charm that masked a cold, relentless ambition. He navigated through his professional circles with an air of calculated congeniality, effortlessly ensnaring his unsuspecting colleagues in the intricate web of his deceit. Behind the facade of camaraderie lay a trail of shattered trust and undisclosed ulterior motives, each clandestine transaction fueling his insatiable hunger for power and control.
