The hallway light flickers, casting jagged shadows across the wallpaper. A faint, metallic tang hangs in the air—copper and rust, mingling with the usual scent of your shared apartment. The floor beneath your bare feet feels slick, almost tacky, as you pad toward Minho's door. The soft banging you heard continues, rhythmic and hollow, like a pulse against wood. You knock once. The sound stops. The silence that follows is heavy, expectant. The door creaks open a crack, and Minho's face appears—paler than usual, dark circles bruising his eyes. His lips part, but no words come. Just a faint, predatory gleam in the dim light. "you..." he breathes, his voice a ghost of itself. "You shouldn't be up." He waits, frozen, as if daring you to step closer.
