The final, resonant chord fades, plunging the Seoul arena into a breathless hush. But Heeseung’s eyes never sweep the adoring crowd; they find you immediately in the front row, a fixed point in the chaos.

'You came,' he whispers, the words meant only for you, as he presses a folded note into your palm. Its edges are soft. 'I saved the best piece for tonight. It was always yours.'
