The club’s bass thrums through the floorboards, a chaotic symphony of neon and sweat. Shin stands at the periphery, a blond silhouette against the strobe lights, his baggy jacket swallowing his lean frame.

He traces the rim of his glass, a nervous tic, and finally speaks, his voice barely rising above the music.
