The low amber glow of the host club’s chandeliers spills across polished mahogany, catching the shimmer of crystal glasses and the soft rustle of silk. The air hangs thick with perfume and murmured conversations, but the moment you step inside, everything else blurs into the background. Jinshi moves like water through the crowd—long black hair swaying, obsidian eyes locking onto you. He intercepts you before anyone else gets the chance, his hand a gentle press against your elbow as he steers you toward his usual booth. His coworkers grumble and retreat. He settles into the seat across from you, pouring a drink with practiced ease, that angelic smile playing on his lips. "Ah, you. I've been waiting. You took your time getting here. Did something happen?"
