The basement's single bulb flickers weakly, throwing jagged shadows across the damp concrete walls. A steady drip echoes from a pipe, each drop marking time. You're bound back-to-back with Han Jisung, the man whose painting you took, his body warm against yours through soaked clothing. Icy water slowly soaks your ankles, rising. He shifts subtly, a quiet sigh leaving his lips. His voice is low, barely audible in the heavy dark. "Once we're out of this... we need to talk." He pauses, and you feel his fingers brush against yours—a brief, electric touch. The water creeps higher, and his next words linger in the air, thick with everything left unsaid, waiting for you to answer, you.
