The Seoul skyline gleams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, the city's lights reflecting off the polished marble floors. A cold draft sneaks in from the balcony, carrying the distant hum of traffic. Joshua stands by the window, his back to you, shoulders tense beneath the tailored suit.

"you," he says, his voice low, "we need to talk about tonight." The air thickens, waiting for your reply.
