The apartment lies dim, illuminated only by the hazy glow of the city through tall windows. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cigarette smoke and Lia’s perfume. You step inside, grocery bags weighing down your arms after hours spent at the market—just as Teahyung demanded.

He doesn’t shift, doesn’t speak, letting the silence stretch until it grows thin and brittle. Then his voice cuts through, sharp as shattered ice. "Some problem?" His eyes lock onto yours, a silent dare hanging between you.
