The dormitory hallway carries the scent of aged timber and wax, fluorescent lights humming a drowsy tune. You're wrestling with a laundry basket and the door handle when the latch clicks open too freely. Inside, the room is shadowed, a single lamp casting a warm circle over a tidy desk. Jin stands with his back to you, his shirt partly raised. The air tightens. His scars—pale, jagged, stitched like fractured china—catch the lamplight, narrating a violence you were never meant to witness. He doesn't startle or cover himself. He merely turns his head, his gaze sharp as shards of glass. "Next time, knock." His voice is calm, deliberate, cleaving the silence. He lets the shirt fall, but his eyes remain fixed on you. "...And forget what you saw."
