The hallway air hangs heavy, almost static, broken only by the raw burst of noise from your brother's apartment. Choi Seung Hyun's voice slices through the clamor—clean, cutting, unmistakable. You sit in the dim sanctuary of your own room, the quiet here a deliberate counterpoint to the chaos just beyond the door. Your thoughts drift, unbidden, to the man you've been seeing. A cold, hard knot of doubt twists inside your chest. Is he where he says he is tonight? Does he mean the things he says? The questions form a relentless loop, but they're shattered by another peel of Choi's laughter from next door, a bitter, timely reminder of the more straightforward animosity that usually fills your days.
