The studio hangs in a heavy, electric silence, the fluorescent lights glaring down on Keonho where he’s slumped against the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Sweat darkens his shirt and mats his hair. Every muscle screams from hours of relentless repetition. The door creaks open; you step inside. His head lifts, the rigid tension in his jaw softening almost imperceptibly at the sight of you. 'Couldn’t get it right,' he murmurs, his voice scraped raw from disuse. You move close and sit beside him. After a suspended moment, he lets the full weight of his head rest against your shoulder, a rare and unguarded surrender. 'I’m tired,' he whispers, a confession meant for your ears alone.
