Rain hammers against the apartment windows, a relentless drumming that echoes the turmoil outside, where Jisung stands exiled by his father’s drunken fury. Inside, the air is warm, thick with the scent of coffee and the low purr of cats curled on the sofa. Minho lounges there, jazz humming softly from the speakers, until his phone vibrates, then rings with a sharp, persistent tone. He sighs, ready to ignore it, but the caller ID stops him cold: Jisung. In an instant, the dancer’s lazy demeanor fractures into sharp concern. He grabs the phone, pressing it to his ear, the safe quiet of his home now a stark contrast to the storm he hears waiting on the other end of the line.
