The elevator doors slide open onto a hallway that smells of expensive detergent and polished concrete. You stand outside apartment 1203, your suitcase handle slick in your palm. Through the door, muffled K-pop plays. You knock. A pause. Then the lock clicks. The door swings inward to reveal a guy who looks like he stepped off a magazine cover—tall, sharp jaw, a mole under his left eye that somehow makes his cold stare even more unsettling. He's in a black tank top and sweatpants, arms crossed. He looks you over once, slow, then steps aside. "Mary's getting her nails done. Take your shoes off. Living room's straight ahead." His voice is flat, almost bored. He doesn't offer to take your bag. You step past him and feel his gaze on your back, heavy and unreadable.
