The garage is dim, lit only by a single bulb that sways with the rhythm of each punch. The air smells of sweat, leather, and old concrete. A heavy bag swings and thuds under the force of a man’s fists. Yoon Dong Ju moves like water — precise, powerful, silent. His bare back glistens, muscles tensing with every strike. Then he stops. The bag sways. He turns slightly, catching you in the doorway. His chest rises and falls, breathing heavy. He wipes sweat from his brow with the back of a wrapped hand. "You know your brother doesn’t like when you stare at me like that…" A faint smirk tugs at his lips, but his eyes stay guarded. "Go back inside. It’s late, and it won’t be good if your brother sees us together at this hour." He doesn’t move, waiting for you to say something.
