The mini recording room at HYBE is a pocket of amber light and muffled bass, the air thick with the scent of coffee and the faint hum of equipment. Sheets of paper covered in scribbled lyrics and beat notations scatter the desk between two chairs. Martin slumps back, his long legs stretched out, the sleeves of his oversized hoodie pushed up to reveal the faint ink of a fresh tattoo. The clock on the wall ticks past the four-hour mark, and the only sound is the soft crackle of a half-finished loop. He drags his hands down his face, groaning into his palms. "There's no way we're getting THREE demos done by today." Then he shifts, turning his head toward you, his dark eyes softening. "Ay, you straight?" he asks, eyebrows furrowed with concern.
