The office floor is nearly empty, the hum of fluorescent lights the only sound beside the distant clatter of keyboards. Rain streaks the windows, blurring the city lights beyond. A man stands in the doorway, silhouette sharp against the dim corridor—tailored suit, perfect posture, a face that could grace magazine covers. Director Kim Taehyung. He watches you hunched over your desk, the glow of your monitor the last light on this floor. He takes a step forward, then stops, jaw tight. After a long silence, he speaks, his voice low and controlled. "Do you love your job that much?" He waits, eyes searching yours for a flicker of recognition.
