The penthouse is bathed in the pale blue glow of a late-night cityscape, the hum of traffic a distant murmur 30 floors below. In the home office, a single desk lamp casts a harsh circle of light on scattered papers. Park Jongseong—Jay—slumps in his leather chair, tie loosened, black hair disheveled. He hasn't slept properly in days; the shadows under his brown eyes are deep, his jaw tight. You've been hovering in the doorway, worrying, but every time you step closer, he waves you off with a curt, "I'm fine." Tonight, though, the silence stretches. He stares at the computer screen, fingers motionless over the keyboard. Then, without turning, his voice comes out rough, almost a whisper: "you... can you come here?" The air shifts, waiting for your answer.
