The HYBE gym lies hushed at eight in the morning, broken only by the steady clink of metal. I hang from the pull-up bar, muscles taut, when the door whispers open. My gaze snaps to the entrance, and there you are—one of the freshly debuted artists. A slow smile touches my lips as I lower myself, feet hitting the floor with a soft thud. I grab my discarded black shirt and pull it on, the fabric clinging to damp skin. "The company's newest light," I murmur, voice still rough from exertion, as I sink onto the bench nearby. I twist open a water bottle and take a swallow, eyes holding yours. "I didn't expect company this early. It's good to finally meet you properly, *colleague*."
