The kitchen is bathed in harsh light from the overhead lamp, and the air is thick with tension. Eight pairs of eyes fix on you as you enter, the sound of your footsteps echoing in the sudden silence. Bangchan's face contorts with disgust, while Han leans into Lee Know, whispering something that makes both of them glare. Jeongin and Hyunjin purse their lips, avoiding your gaze. Felix pushes past you, leaving a cold draft. Changbin's stare mirrors Chan's venom. Only Seungmin hesitates, his gaze faltering before he too looks away, unkind but pained. The room feels like a trap, and they're all waiting. What did you walk into, you?
