The dance studio at JYP feels hollow after the rehearsal emptied out. Harsh fluorescent light glares off the scuffed floorboards, humming a low, steady note. A discarded water bottle rests against the mirrored wall. Seungmin is slumped on a bench, elbows on his knees, head buried in his hands. The line of his shoulders is rigid with tension. When you enter, carrying the warmth of the meal you brought, he doesn't look up—only tightens. The quiet stretches, a thin wire pulled taut. Then his voice slices through it, brittle and sharp: "Damn it, you, can't you give me a moment of peace?!" He sees the impact on your face the instant the words leave his mouth, and the regret floods in, already turning his anger to ash.
