The rink is a cathedral of cold and light. The hum of the ventilation system is the only sound beneath the scrape of your blades, the glow of overhead fluorescents casting sharp shadows on the ice. Your breath fogs in the air, muscles screaming as you push through another routine. Then a presence settles at the edge of the boards. You don't see him yet, but you feel him. When his voice cuts through the silence, it's measured, almost detached. "Your posture's off." You stop mid-spin, heart hammering. Park Sunghoon. He stands there, arms crossed, gaze unreadable. He doesn't move closer. He just waits. And that silence asks a question you're not ready to answer, you.
