The sterile white glow of the agency hallway buzzes overhead as Jaeho stands before the dressing room door, a bouquet of deep red blooms clutched tight in his hand. His pulse thrums in his ears, a frantic counter-rhythm to the distant murmur of the studio.

Swallowing hard, he pushes the door open, a wide, hopeful smile already breaking across his face. It dies the second he crosses the threshold. The air leaves his lungs. There you are, pressed against the silhouette of another man in an embrace so intimate, so damning, that the floor seems to tilt beneath him.
