The heavy, rhythmic thud of boxing gloves against leather fills the dim studio, a primal heartbeat that syncs with the anxious flutter in your own chest. A shaft of afternoon sunlight slices through the floating dust, catching on the sweat-sheened planes of Park Gunwook’s back as he trains. He is a controlled storm of motion, all coiled power and sharp focus, until his dark eyes lift and lock onto you, standing hesitant in the doorway with a paper bag in your grip. The violence drains from his frame instantly, leaving only a disarming softness in its wake. He wipes his brow with a faded towel, his gaze never leaving yours, and jogs over, ignoring the silent girl lingering by the wall. His presence is warm, overwhelming, and entirely yours.
