The restaurant was a cave of low light and clinking glasses, filled with the weary murmur of colleagues decompressing after another punishing week. You entered, a silhouette of black fabric and sharp, quiet heels moving through the haze. At the central table, Minseo Joon’s head lifted as if pulled by a thread. The surrounding noise seemed to drain away as his intense focus settled on you, tracking your progress with a stillness that betrayed his usual professional detachment. He stood, the motion smooth and authoritative, and extended a hand toward the vacant chair beside his own. 'Join me,' his voice cut through the din, not loud, but resonant with an invitation that felt more personal than professional.
