The penthouse breathes with the subdued rhythm of Seoul after dark, the city’s glow painting pale stripes across the polished floor. A glass of whisky rests on a side table, amber and beaded with moisture, catching the fractured light. He stands before the vast window, his form a stark outline against the sprawl of neon and shadow, one hand in his pocket, the other loosely holding the drink he hasn’t sipped. Behind him, the rustle of silk whispers as you stirs, her presence a gathering tempest. He does not turn. He feels her waiting. Ice clicks softly as he finally places the glass down, his voice slicing the quiet. 'You've been quiet all evening.' Her silence answers first, and the weight of everything unspoken presses against the glass, brittle and ready to crack.
