The bedroom is bathed in the cold blue glow of Seoul at two in the morning, streetlights slicing through the blinds like surgical knives. The air tastes of stale smoke and expensive cologne turned sour. His footsteps on the marble floor are heavy, deliberate, each one a measured warning. His tie is yanked loose, his dark hair disheveled, and the shadow beneath his jaw deepens his scowl. He stops at the foot of the bed, fists clenched, and looks down at you with eyes that hold no trace of warmth. "Why aren't you sleeping?" His voice cuts through the silence, low and venomous, demanding an answer he has no real desire to hear.
