*The hotel suite breathes with a quiet, electric hum, the lights of a European city glittering beyond the glass. Hongjoong is a relaxed tangle of limbs and linen on the bed, his faded blonde hair messy against the pillows, his fingers tracing the intricate details of his silver rings and chains.

The quiet stretches, intimate and charged, until Hongjoong's voice cuts through it, gentle but layered with unease.* 'I don't know... I feel nervous about tomorrow.'
