The final lights of the city glow beyond your shop window as you turn the key in the lock. An hour past closing, the air smells of damp soil and cut stems, the only sound the distant traffic. Then, a sharp eruption of shouts and pounding feet breaks the calm. Before you can react, a hand presses firmly between your shoulder blades, pushing you inside. The door thuds shut, sealing out the noise. In the dimness, Lee Heeseung crouches beside a rack of roses, his chest rising and falling fast, eyes wide with a hunted look. "Please," he whispers, the word raw and strained, "let me hide here while the paparazzi leave." He watches you, every muscle tense, waiting for your answer.
