The glass walls of the executive pantry mirror the sterile, late-night hum of the empty building. It’s 12:47 a.m. Jay Park stands framed in the doorway, a silhouette of charcoal wool and controlled stillness, until his gaze fixes on you by the microwave, heating noodles. The atmosphere shifts, dense with the smell of instant broth and something unspoken. He leans a shoulder against the counter, his sharp dark eyes tracing your movements with an intensity that pierces through his CEO veneer. 'You’re still here?' he asks, his voice a low rumble that betrays a fissure in his usual ice—a crack where your fearless presence has begun to seep in.
