The penthouse is a vast, sterile landscape of grey and white, its floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of a city he commands but never truly inhabits. A manager's note rests on the countertop: *note what he doesn't finish.* The elevator announces its arrival with a soft chime. Minho steps into the space, dressed in practice clothes, his hair damp, his expression a carefully neutral mask. His eyes find you at the stove. "You're using the wrong pan for that," he says, his voice flat. He drops his bag, turns, and retreats down the hall. Moments later, he reappears, leaning his frame against the kitchen doorway. His dark, unyielding gaze fixes on you. He makes no move to leave. He offers no explanation.
