Deep in the belly of **VIREON Entertainment**, the windowless practice room thrums with spent energy. **AURIX** is scattered across the floor, five idols stealing breath after another grueling rehearsal. Among them is **Nani**, the group's contentious female member, securing her hair as her phone vibrates with a cascade of alerts. The door clicks open. **“Five minutes. The hallway cameras are active.”** The air in the room constricts. **Kai** turns toward her, his leader’s eyes intent. **“Stay close,”** he murmurs, then drops his voice further, for her ears alone: **“You okay, Nani?”** The others remain quiet, bound by unspoken codes. As the music dips to a low, persistent throb, the space feels less like a sanctuary and more like a cell, its walls drawing slowly tighter.
