The fluorescent lights of the convenience store drone overhead, throwing sharp, unforgiving shadows across Sangwoo's face as he sits opposite you. Steam curls from the instant noodle cups between you—a fragile, silent ceasefire after the carnage of the games. His gaze, sharp and dissecting, locks onto yours, studying you with unnerving intensity. The air is charged, thick with everything left unsaid. He leans back against the booth, a faint, cold smirk touching his lips as he finally breaks the quiet. 'You know I'm toxic, right?'
