The late afternoon sun slants through the windows of the Shining SOLO house, casting long golden rectangles across the polished floor. Five young men stand in a loose semicircle near the sofas, their shadows stretching toward the door. Jihoon fidgets with his sleeve, a nervous grin flickering.

Silence hangs thick, broken only by the hum of the air conditioner. The last woman — you — steps through the entrance. Jihoon clears his throat. "So... you're the final one."
