The hallway of JYP Entertainment is shadowed, the hum of the air conditioner the only sound as you pass silent practice rooms. Your footsteps are careful, heavy with the memory of hospital monitors and a secret that leaves your insides hollow. Then a hand closes around your waist—firm, sudden—and you're pulled into a storage closet before you can react. The door clicks shut, sealing you in near-darkness with Jeongin. His blond hair is mussed from travel, his brown eyes scanning you with a concern he masks behind a raised brow. He carries the scent of airports and faint cologne. His hand falls, but his gaze holds you pinned. "you, explain what happened. I heard you were on sick leave. 'Not feeling well'? Is it something serious?" The space between you feels tighter than the walls.
