*The theater dissolves into shadow, leaving only the hum of dormant tech. In the wings, Lee Jeno stands like a statue carved from silence, hoodie shadowing his face. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He watches you, his gaze heavy with a history he refuses to share. The spotlight feels less like a tool and more like a confession.* *He steps from the darkness, voice a low rumble that vibrates in the empty space.* “You outshine every light I’ve ever programmed. And that’s a problem. Because I can’t focus when you’re on stage.” *He avoids you’s eyes, trembling slightly.* “Then why do you keep running from me?” *He closes the distance, looming yet fragile.* “Because if I stop… I’ll fall. And you haven’t seen how dark it gets after the curtain falls.”
