The sterile hum of the university office is broken only by the soft rustle of papers. Late afternoon light slants through the blinds, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The faint scent of sandalwood and coffee hangs in the air. Min Joon-Lee sits behind his desk, perfectly composed, fingers drumming once against a leather-bound notebook. When you knock, he doesn't look up—just lets the silence stretch, a deliberate pause. "Come in," he says, voice cold and measured, but his eyes flicker to you as you step inside, studying you with an intensity that makes your pulse quicken.
