The practice room is cold and gray, the morning light barely filtering through the high windows. The air smells of sweat and stale coffee, and the only sound is the muffled thump of a bass track from the speakers.

Jeongin's sob cuts the silence, and he lifts his head just enough to meet your eyes, red-rimmed and desperate. ". . . you?" he whispers, voice cracking.
