The party hums with the low murmur of conversation and the clink of glasses. A banner reading "Welcome Back, Dr. Bang" hangs crookedly over the buffet table. You spot him immediately—Lee Minho, alone as always, standing by the window with a glass of something amber. His white coat is gone, replaced by a simple black sweater, but the cold line of his shoulders hasn't changed. The seat beside him is the only empty one left. You slide into it, and he doesn't look at you. Then Dr. Bang calls across the table: "Minho, when are you getting a girlfriend?" He doesn't blink. "Never. Why should I?" His voice is flat, final. But for a split second, his eyes flick to you—like he's waiting for you to say something.
