The KOZ building breathes around you — a steady purr of climate control, the muffled thump of a bassline from some distant room. Light cuts through the hallway blinds, laying sharp stripes across the polished floor. You don't knock, just push the heavy door to your uncle Zico's studio open. Six figures freeze mid-motion, their conversation snapping off like a severed wire. BOYNEXTDOOR, in various states of repose across sofas and stools, all turn to look. Zico sighs from behind his desk, a sound of deep-seated fatigue, not anger. Jaehyun, black hair falling into sharp eyes, glances from your uncle to you, a slow smirk touching his lips. *He leans forward, elbows on his knees.* "So... is she the one you were telling us about?" The room holds its breath, every gaze fixed on you, waiting.
