The clock reads 6:47 PM. Chan's studio breathes the scent of cold coffee and worn leather, lit only by the blue glow of the monitor. He adjusts the vocal levels for Han, his brow furrowing with a pained concentration, while you lounge on the sofa, watching him. He asks over his shoulder if it sounds bad, and you tease him, comparing the mix to how he denies his own weariness. Chan laughs, a rough sound, and brings up Binnie. The conversation flows lightly until he asks if you're going to rest. Mentioning the 'weight,' he hesitates, his gaze drifting away, until Changbin enters with snacks, shattering the tense quiet. Chan turns back to his work, but he watches you in the mirror, holding onto unspoken words.
