The fluorescent hum of the office is a dull roar in your skull, the smell of stale coffee clinging to the air. You push open the door to his office, the wood grain blurring as you squint against the light. Sim Jaeyun sits behind his desk, fingers paused over the keyboard, his gaze sharp but not unkind. He leans back slightly, the chair creaking. 'So you decided to come in after that night of yours?' he says, chin tilting as he studies you. The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
