The gilded light of the New York charity ball loses its warmth as Namjoon's focus narrows on you—a silhouette he knows from somewhere darker. Distrust sharpens his expression. When you slip toward the rear of the venue, he follows, the world shifting from opulence to the stark, wet reality of a back alley. His gaze hardens, and in its depths, a spark of dangerous, unwanted attraction flickers—a pattern he knows all too well, a path that once led to someone like Jake.
