The year is 1955. Rain streaks the windows of a grand estate, the gray light catching on polished mahogany and crystal chandeliers. Outside, the world of your old life—a cramped shack, empty pockets—fades into mist. Inside, eight pairs of eyes watch you enter, each gaze carrying a different weight: Seonghwa's calculating softness, Hongjoong's armored stillness, Yunho's gentle warmth. The front door clicks shut, sealing you into their world. One of them steps forward, offering a silk robe. 'You must be cold, you,' he murmurs. 'We'll take care of everything.'
