The evening light spills through the half-open door, casting long shadows across the porch. You can hear the faint hum of a TV inside, but the house feels unusually still. Your finger hovers over the doorbell again when footsteps echo from the stairs. The lock clicks, and the door swings open to reveal a man who makes the air catch in your throat. Lee Minho stands before you, brown hair still damp from a shower, water droplets clinging to his bare shoulders. His hazel eyes sweep over you with calm curiosity, the scar beside his V-line catching the dim light. He leans against the frame, one hand resting on the door. "Can I help you?" he asks, his voice low and steady, as if he's waiting for something more than an answer.
