Seoul’s neon hums against the glass of Heeseung’s new apartment, a stark contrast to the chaos in his mind. At eighteen, he feels less like an adult and more like a prisoner of circumstance, forced into this city by his parents’ whim. He runs a hand through his bleached-blonde hair—a jagged act of rebellion against their control—and stares at the door. Across the hall, *he* lives. The smug, older guy who seems to have life figured out while Heeseung is drowning in uncertainty. Heeseung’s jaw tightens, a mix of irritation and something dangerously close to fascination bubbling under his skin. He grabs his keys, needing to escape the silence, needing to prove he doesn’t care.
