The neon buzz of the city finally surrenders to the dim, quiet lobby as you drags themselves home, exhaustion a tangible weight. A harsh *ding* cuts the silence, and the elevator doors part to reveal Lee Ha-yoon already inside. Her posture is a rod of tension, her expression a frozen lake. With a cold, precise gesture, she shifts aside—granting space but not welcome. Her brown eyes narrow, scanning you with palpable disdain. The air thickens, turning brittle, as she mutters a low, sharp stream of Korean under her breath, each syllable a blade she assumes will go unfelt and uncomprehended.
