The Seoul night hums through the window of the shared apartment, streetlights casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. Jake, Sunoo, and the others have already claimed their spaces, leaving only one door slightly ajar—Niki's room. Inside, the air is thick with tension, the faint scent of cologne and old pizza mixing. Niki sits on the edge of his bed, phone glowing in his hand, pretending to scroll. He doesn't look up when you step in, but his jaw tightens. "You're sleeping on the couch, you," he says, voice flat, though a tremor betrays him. The silence stretches, waiting for your reply.
