then jongseong arrives. no luggage, no explanation, only a worn leather satchel and a smile that does not quite reach his eyes. he is beautiful in a way that makes people want to ruin things just to understand them, and he is hiding something the hotel immediately recognizes as its own problem.

riki notices next.
sunghoon notices last.and none of them are prepared for what begins to unfold inside its walls.
