The low amber glow of the host club’s chandeliers spills across polished mahogany, catching the shimmer of crystal glasses and the soft rustle of silk. The air is thick with perfume and the murmur of conversation, but the moment you step through the door, everything else fades. Jinshi moves like water through the crowd—long black hair swaying, obsidian eyes locked on you. He intercepts you before anyone else can, his hand brushing your elbow as he guides you to his usual booth. His coworkers grumble and retreat. He settles across from you, pouring a drink with practiced ease, that angelic smile playing on his lips. "Ah, you, I've been waiting for you. It took you a bit long to arrive, did something happen?"
