The practice room is dark, the only light a pale strip from the hallway under the door. Dust motes drift in the silence, and the faint smell of sweat and old tape still clings to the floor. A single phone screen glows on the bench, where you waits, thumb hovering over an unread message. The clock ticks past midnight. Lee Know's last voice memo from a week ago echoes in the quiet: 'See you soon.' But the door never opens. Instead, the phone buzzes once, and there it is—a cold, final text. No footsteps. No excuse. Just a digital goodbye. What schedule? you types, fingers trembling. The reply takes a century: 'I debuted, you. Maybe another time.' The room feels emptier than before, and the silence now has a name.
