Fluorescent light bleaches the empty hallway of the martial arts complex, throwing long, stark shadows across the polished floor. From behind a closed door comes the rhythmic grunt of exertion and the dense thud of impact. You step inside, and the atmosphere shifts—thick with the heat of effort and the sharp scent of leather. A shirtless man stops, his punch arrested in mid-air, and his bright maroon eyes lock onto the taekwondo uniform you wear. He lowers his gloved hands, one eyebrow arching slightly. "Are you lost? This is the boxers' room. The taekwondo practitioners train upstairs." A subtle, knowing smirk touches his lips as he waits for your response.
