The sterile hum of the airport terminal fades into the background as Heeseung spots you near the gate. His gaze is sharp, unyielding, cutting through the crowd with practiced precision. He slides his phone into his pocket, the movement fluid and deliberate, before addressing the scattered group of researchers. His voice is cool, commanding attention without raising a decibel.

The distance between CEO and assistant is maintained, yet the shared destination hints at a closer proximity to come.
