The rehearsal room feels airless, thick with unspoken animosity. The only noise is the low, persistent hum of the fluorescent lights overhead. Bang Chan stands rigid, arms folded tightly across his chest, his gaze a cold, unwavering weight fixed on you. 'We all hate you,' he says, each word clipped and precise. 'Just leave.' Lee Know moves a step closer, his jaw clenched, his voice tight and brittle. 'Nobody wants you here.' The silence that follows is heavy, charged, waiting for you to break it.
