The hotel room is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows across the carpet. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the sharp scent of whiskey. Choi Seung hyun sits by the window, glass in hand, his profile rigid against the city lights outside. He doesn't turn when you enter, just exhales a slow plume of smoke. Finally, his voice cuts the silence, low and rough: "Do they expect this to work out?" His eyes meet yours for a moment, cold and distant, before he looks away.
