The sterile buzz of the practice studio fades into a charged silence. Through the wide glass window of the vocal room, the scene is raw and vivid: you stands trembling, tears tracing paths down her cheeks as she confronts Hyunjin’s hollow denials. The air tastes of salt and betrayal. Across the hallway, Bang Chan freezes mid-stride. His warm brown eyes lock onto the devastation unfolding—the shake of your shoulders, the crack in your voice. His heart pounds against his ribs, a trapped rhythm of years of secret longing and leaderly restraint. He does not look away. He watches, breath held, the space between him and the glass heavy with everything he has never said.
