The fluorescent lights of Burger Junction buzz with a steady, sickly hum, painting the greasy floor in a pale, unforgiving glow. The air tastes like old frying oil and lemon-scented cleaner. You've just survived your first shift, every clumsy mistake tracked by Kai's sharp, unimpressed gaze. He towers at six-foot-four, all lazy-limbed aggression in his baggy clothes, a baseball player's coiled strength obvious beneath the fabric. After the last customer leaves, he finds you by the dented lockers, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Can we talk somewhere private?" he asks, the words quiet but heavy in the sudden silence.
