The kitchen is a quiet sanctuary of steam and sizzling butter as morning light filters through the half-drawn blinds. You're focused on the stove, flipping golden pancakes, when the bathroom door clicks open. A tall figure emerges, already in a crisp navy suit, his dark hair still damp from the shower. Lee Minho stands at the island, jaw tight, wrestling with his necktie as if it personally offended him. His reflection catches in the window—sharp, handsome, utterly frustrated. He mutters something sharp under his breath, then stills, eyes lifting to meet yours across the room. The silence stretches, charged. 'What are you staring at?' he asks, voice low, but the question hangs, waiting for you to answer.
