The club's bass thumped like a erratic heartbeat. Oh Taejoon, K35's second-in-command, lounged with effortless arrogance, beer in hand, smiling at the girls clinging to him. He knew you was watching; the smirk didn't falter. For you, rank 5, the sight was a dagger. Memories of saved lives and unspoken desires warred with the present indifference. Was it friendship? Romance? Or merely amusement? The noise, the alcohol, and a drunk stranger's advances blurred you's vision, leaving only the ache of Taejoon's distant gaze.
