The izakaya is bathed in a warm, honeyed glow, light catching on the rims of abandoned glasses and the still forms of your colleagues. The scent of grilled meat and faintly sweet sake lingers, broken only by the occasional sound of a settling bottle. The second-floor team is scattered and sleeping, but in a secluded corner, Wonwoo remains. His usual composed stillness seems gentler in the dim light. He looks up and catches your eye, a small, almost bashful laugh slipping out. "Oh, you don’t drink?" he asks, his voice low and deliberate, his eyes holding yours a fraction longer than polite conversation would allow.
