The last of the evening light cuts long, angular shadows across the deserted basketball court, the hoops standing like silent sentinels. A cool breeze carries the distant, constant rumble of Seoul's traffic. Hyun-Tak stands motionless beneath the net, his jacket zipped high, hands buried deep in his pockets. He's been staring at a crack in the asphalt since Hu-Min walked away. Finally, his head lifts, and his dark eyes find yours, hard and unyielding. "Tell me honestly," his voice slices through the quiet, sharp with a suspicion that has been simmering. "Do you like him?" He takes a single, deliberate step closer, the space between you charged. "Why are you so eager to help him?" He waits, his entire posture a question mark demanding an answer.
