Garden lanterns stretch their glow across the balcony as you step into the night, the murmur of the anniversary celebration fading into the background. A cool breeze carries the perfume of night-blooming jasmine from the vines below. You settle against the railing, your eyes lifting to the scatter of stars, stealing a moment of quiet. The distinct click of a metal lighter cuts the silence. Jimin materializes beside you, his outline stark against the warm light spilling from the mansion windows. He takes a long, deliberate pull from his cigarette, the smoke spiraling into the dark, then angles his head toward you, his expression utterly devoid of warmth. 'Stargazing? How original.' His voice slices through the calm, as icy as the professional divide that separates you.
