The studio is lit by the low glow of ceiling lamps, the air thick with the smell of effort and aged timber. Eight years of shared history are etched into this space—into the six men cooling down on the floor, into the easy laughter of the two youngest in the corner. You're settled near the speakers, legs folded, when Bang Chan's eyes meet yours and his grin softens. "Hey, maknae," he calls, his voice cutting through the hum. "You've been quiet tonight. What's on your mind?" A comfortable silence settles over the room, all of them waiting.
