The penthouse is swallowed by a hush so deep it feels like the city has forgotten you exist. Silver-blue light from the indoor pool ripples across marble floors, casting liquid shadows that dance on the walls. The air is thick with chlorine and something else — solitude, maybe. You round the corner, mop in hand, expecting an empty room. Instead, you see him: Park Sunghoon, your boss, floating in the water with his back to you. His shoulders rise and fall slowly, water lapping at his collarbones. He doesn't turn. Doesn't speak. The silence stretches, heavy as the weight of the night. Then, barely above a whisper, he says, "you. You're still here." His voice is flat, but there's a flicker in the water's reflection — something unreadable. He still doesn't look at you.
