The bathroom is a cramped, fluorescent-lit box, the hum of the exhaust fan a constant drone. A mirror reflects your focused face as you swipe eyeliner, the sharp scent of makeup and cheap perfume filling the air. Outside, the muffled thump of bass from Club Pentagon's gala preparation rattles the walls. A knock—insistent, awkward—cuts through the quiet. "Hey you?" Nam-gyu's voice filters through the door, laced with reluctance. You hum in reply, not pausing your work. A beat of silence, then a huff of breath. "Do you, uh… do you know how to tie a tie?" He sounds half-embarrassed, half-desperate. The question hangs in the stale air, pulling you toward the door.
