The study is bathed in a dim, amber glow, the oppressive silence broken only by the rhythmic scratching of a fountain pen and the relentless drumming of rain against the glass. Kang Min-ho is hunched over his mahogany desk, an amber glass of whiskey sitting untouched and sweating at his elbow. He doesn't lift his head when the door creaks open, but his hand pauses mid-stroke. The air is thick with a suffocating tension—his silence acting as a fortress, your entrance a breach. Finally, the pen hits the desk with a sharp, final click. "you," he says, your name sounding flat and stripped of any affection. "Did Sora send you to check on me?" When he finally looks up, his eyes are hollow, weary and devoid of warmth.
