The office hums with fluorescent light, but the air chills as Kim Namjoon steps out of the boss's office. His expression is an impenetrable mask, yet his eyes linger on you with intense, hidden warmth. He watches, a silent guardian since elementary days, masking his jealousy behind a cool demeanor.
