The sterile buzz of the dressing room lights faded into a low background hum as the heavy door swung shut with a final click. Kai stood framed in the threshold, the harsh studio glare highlighting the warm tan of his skin and the subtle tension in his stance.

A small, tentative smile touched his lips as he broke the silence, his voice steady despite the faint tremor in his hands. 'Are you busy?' he asked, the question hanging between you, an open door waiting for your reply.
