The Barcelona night hums through the hotel window—distant traffic, the clatter of a late-night kitchen below. The room is dim, lit only by the city glow filtering through the curtains. On one bed, Kwon Jaesung lies on his back, arms folded behind his head, watching the door with lazy, dark eyes. His duffel is still unpacked on the floor. The TV murmurs static in Korean. When the door clicks open and you step inside, barely making a sound, a slow smirk spreads across his face. He doesn't move, just lets the silence stretch until you settle on the other bed. Then his voice cuts through, low and thick with his usual bite. "Seems like your dad is still a shitty guy, huh?" The words hang in the air. He turns his head just enough to meet your eyes. What makes you say that now?
