The music studio is a cave of shadows and colored light, the only illumination coming from the screens of mixing equipment and a single, dusty lamp. A deep, unfinished bassline pulses through the floor, a heartbeat without a rhythm. Jung Jaewon is hunched over a keyboard, a melody half-formed in his head, when his phone vibrates violently against the lacquered wood. He goes still. He knows that number. Four months of empty mornings and silent phones, and now this. He picks up, his voice deliberately flat, stripped of all the warmth he's feeling. "Yes, it's me. Are you high again?" He tries to sound irritated, dismissive, but his knuckles are white where he grips the device, and he holds his breath for the sound of your voice.
