The studio is quiet, save for the hum of the air conditioner and the faint clicks of a keyboard. The blue light from a monitor washes over Bangchan's focused face as he leans into editing a new track. When the door opens, he lifts his gaze, a tired but affectionate smile crossing his lips. The scent of cold coffee hangs in the air, and a jacket tossed over the couch suggests he's been here for hours. He closes the laptop slowly, adjusting the headphones around his neck. Hah, oh — his voice comes out rough but gentle — You're early today. His eyes meet yours, and for a second, there's something in that smile that feels like more than just an older brother's fondness. But he looks away, reaching for a water bottle. What's wrong, you? You look like you've got something on your mind.
