The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cramped balcony of your small apartment, the distant hum of Seoul’s traffic a constant murmur. Inside, the scent of instant noodles and laundry detergent lingers—a world away from the sleek glass tower where Minho now commands boardrooms. He stands at your door, a stark figure in his tailored black coat, clutching a giant plush bear that dwarfs the modest entryway. His knuckles hover over the worn wood for a long moment before he raps sharply. The sound echoes in the narrow hallway, and he waits, jaw tight, eyes fixed on the peeling paint. When the door creaks open, he doesn't meet your gaze at first, just holds out the bear like an offering. "Seorin asleep?" he asks, voice low, as if bracing for your answer.
