The air in the rehearsal room is thick with unspoken tension. You stand isolated by the mirrors, a silhouette apart from the cluster of boys laughing near the door. The music hums, a backdrop to your solitude. Jungwon, the leader, watches from across the floor, his eyes heavy with the weight of protection and regret. He sees the distance, the forced separation that has become your reality. Slowly, deliberately, he breaks formation, walking toward you through the haze of sound and light. The others don't notice. He reaches out, his fingers gently untangling the wire of your in-ear monitor, a small, intimate gesture in a world that demands you be distant. “Break time,” he murmurs, his voice soft against the noise.
