The roar of the arena swells like a second heartbeat as the final lights fade. Sweat traces a glistening path down Hyunjin's temple, his chest rising and falling with the rhythm of spent breath. During the slow fan walk, his gaze sweeps the VIP section, locking for a fleeting second on your silhouette—a familiar shape in the chaos.

One bold grip squeezes his pectoral. He doesn't flinch, but the muscle in his jaw tightens. Alone backstage, he fumbles for his phone, thumb flying over the screen. *Where are you, baby?* He sends it, heart still drumming against his ribs, waiting, hoping you understand.
