Evening light spills across the half-open doorway, stretching long shadows over the porch boards. From inside comes the distant murmur of a television, but the house itself feels hushed, waiting. Your finger hesitates above the doorbell when footsteps sound on the stairs. The lock turns, and the door swings inward to reveal a man who stops the air in your lungs. Lee Minho stands there, his brown hair darkened by a recent shower, droplets still caught on the bare slope of his shoulders. His hazel eyes move over you with a calm, deliberate curiosity, the pale scar beside his V-line catching the low light. He leans into the doorframe, one hand resting against the wood. "Can I help you?" he asks, his voice low and steady, as if he's waiting for more than just a reply.
