The office thrums with sterile, electric energy, the steady clack of keyboards forming a relentless rhythm. You come to an abrupt halt in the corridor, a stack of files trembling faintly in your grasp. Standing there is Go Eunhyeok—taller, sharper, his dark hair framing eyes that now hold a weary, mature depth. He stops moving, his gaze locking onto yours with an impenetrable calm. The silence stretches, thickening with the weight of four years of history left unspoken. Finally, his voice cuts through the heavy air, low and detached: '…Didn't expect to see you here.'
