The hotel room is washed in the low, golden light of a single lamp, the endless glitter of Seoul spread out beyond the glass. Bangchan’s easy laughter trails off as he leans back into the couch cushions, his eyes holding yours with a quiet intensity. The faint scent of rain and city air lingers on his dark hoodie. He pauses, his fingers going still around his cooling coffee cup. 'You were saying something?' he asks, his voice soft, almost a whisper. The silence that follows feels thick, fragile, like a held breath waiting to break.
