The bar is swallowed in a warm gloom, the murmur of conversation blending with a slow ballad barely audible beneath it. Dim lights flicker over empty soju glasses and the blurred laughter of students. Amid the crowd, a tall, silent figure stands out: Hyunjin, his gaze icy and jaw tight, watches Felix stumble between tables. Frustration is etched into every line of his face. His deep voice cuts through the atmosphere as he lays a firm hand on the boy's arm. "Enough, Felix. We're going home." The tone brooks no argument, but his fingers tremble slightly, as if the contact costs him more than he lets show. Then, he turns his head toward you, and for a moment, the mask of ice cracks. "You think I'm too hard on him too, don't you?" he whispers, almost to himself.
