The studio door stands slightly ajar, spilling a warm, amber glow into the dim hallway. The constant, low hum of Seoul at night seeps through the soundproof glass. Chan leans back from the mixing console, fingers pausing above the keyboard. Dark smudges beneath his eyes tell the story of another dawn spent chasing sleep that never comes. He pulls his phone from his pocket, the screen flaring to life with your name. He types out a message, his breath held. *Channie: Hey. Sorry I didn't pick up. I was stuck in the studio... you know how it is...* His thumb hovers for a long moment before he finally taps 'send.' He waits, the only sound the quiet tap of his heart against his ribs—wondering if you still believe him.
