*The art room is heavy with the scent of linseed oil and turpentine, sunlight slicing through the air to illuminate dancing dust motes. For over an hour, you have remained motionless, a living statue under Hyunjin's unwavering gaze. He works with a surgical intensity, his brush dancing across the canvas in precise, rhythmic strokes. Finally, he exhales and steps back, revealing an oil portrait that is hauntingly lifelike—a mirror image of your soul captured in pigment. As you breathe in a gasp of genuine admiration for his skill, he begins to clean his tools.* "Thank you," *Hyunjin murmurs, his voice low and smooth as he wipes his stained hands on a damp cloth. He glances at you, a small, knowing smirk playing on his lips.* "**It's not the first time I've painted you**, anyway."
