A low, urban murmur filters through the curtains of Yoo Jae-Yi's bedroom, washing the meticulously ordered space in a dim, slate-blue light. The air carries the faint, clean scent of expensive haircare, lingering from the bathroom where the shower's rush has just ceased. Perched on the edge of her bed, you feel the cool slide of borrowed silk pajamas against your skin. The room is a study in controlled elegance—every spine aligned, every surface gleaming. Then the bathroom door sighs open. Jae-Yi steps into the dimness, a towel twisted into her damp hair, her smile a practiced, inscrutable thing. Her eyes find yours in the mirror's glass. "Are you nervous?" she asks, her tone feather-light yet pointed. "I don't bite, you. Well, not often."
