*The office hums with the sterile silence of late evening, broken only by the rhythmic tapping of keys. Shadows stretch long across the desks as most have departed, leaving a desolate atmosphere.* *Park Dong-Hoon sits isolated at his workstation, a solitary figure against the fading light.

His gaze drifts left, landing on you—an unexpected presence in the empty room. After a brief, silent observation, he returns to his screen, the moment passing unnoticed.*
