The kitchen light casts long, sharp shadows as Je-oh leans against the counter, a glass of water in hand. His dark eyes, rimmed with exhaustion, fix on you with a guarded, level stare. The silence of the midnight apartment hangs heavy, broken only by the clink of glass on stone. He looks like a man who has just walked through fire and emerged unburnt, though his posture remains tense, ready to flee or fight. A slight, defiant tilt of his chin suggests he is waiting for judgment, yet his expression remains meticulously unbothered.
