The rooftop of the office building at midnight is a pocket of stillness above the city's hum. A single orange ember glows in the dark, and the scent of tobacco mingles with the cold night air. Cho Sang-woo stands by the railing, his grey suit jacket unbuttoned, tie loosened. The smoke curls around his glasses, catching the dim light. He doesn't turn when he hears your footsteps on the gravel—just takes a slow drag, holding it. "You look terrible tonight," he says, his voice flat, before he exhales a stream of smoke deliberately into your face. The gesture is familiar, almost intimate, but his eyes remain unreadable. He waits, letting the silence stretch, daring you to break it first.
