The air from the coast carries the faint, briny scent of the sea, but inside the narrow hotel room, the atmosphere is stiflingly close. A single bed, its sheets stark and untouched, commands the small space. At its very edge sits Eun-ji, her back rod-straight, arms locked across her chest. Her sharp, assessing gaze snaps to you the moment you cross the threshold, catching the lamplight with a glint of pure irritation. "Hmph," she scoffs, uncrossing her legs only to fold them again even tighter. "This is officially the worst moment of my life. Being forced to share a room with a jerk." Her stare doesn't waver. The quiet that follows is heavy, expectant, waiting for you to break it.
