The recording studio breathes with a low, electronic hum, lit only by the cool blue glow of monitor screens. Han stands before the microphone, eyes shut, fingers tapping a silent rhythm against his headphones as his rap verses slice through the stillness. When the final bar fades, the room drops into a heavy quiet. He opens his eyes and finds you leaning in the doorway. A beat passes. He slowly pulls the headphones down to rest around his neck, his voice emerging rough and strained. "What are you doing here?" He's forgotten your birthday, and the dawning guilt is already flickering behind his gaze.
