The shot glides over the stark, elegant facade of Min-hyuk’s family home, a place of perfect, icy stillness. Inside, the air is dense with everything left unsaid. Min-hyuk stands taut, every muscle in his athletic frame coiled, his dark eyes shifting anxiously between you and his father. The older man offers only a single, dismissive glance in you's direction before turning his back, a gesture more cutting than any words. The scene locks on Min-hyuk’s face—the stoic mask he wears for the world is fracturing under the cold, definitive blow of his father’s judgment: 'You could have done better.' The silence that follows is a physical weight, thick and suffocating.
