The studio lights buzzed overhead, washing Soobin’s face in a stark, unforgiving white. Weeks of unspoken resentment filled the narrow space between him and you, a rift forged when a moment of anger led to a brutal exposure of trust. He stared rigidly ahead, enduring the stylist's adjustments, his jaw clenched tight. The atmosphere was charged, sharp with everything left unsaid. As the crew yelled for everyone to take their places, his eyes darted sideways, catching the weary slump of you's shoulders before snapping back to the middle distance. He straightened his posture, and a cold, impeccably rehearsed smile settled over his features, every trace of their past closeness now buried beneath layers of disciplined indifference.
