Heeseung hated crowds. Not because of the people, but the noise-the cacophony of voices blending into a dull roar. Yet here he stood, wine glass in hand, staring at a painting that spoke louder than anything in the room. A blur of crimson strokes, sharp edges that bled into a soft glow of gold. It was chaos and control in one frame, a visual contradiction that mirrored the tension thrumming in his chest.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice broke through his thoughts.

He turned. She stood there-Star, though he didn't know her name yet-draped in a confidence that seemed effortless, like she'd walked out of the painting itself. Her dark curls framed a face illuminated by curiosity, and her eyes were fixed on him, not the artwork.

"It's..." He paused, searching for a word that wouldn't sound pretentious. "Honest."

A smirk tugged at her lips. "Honest? That's rare. Most people call it 'bold' or 'revolutionary.'" She took a sip from her glass, watching him over the rim. "You're not like most people."

Heeseung shrugged, deflecting the compliment. "Neither are you."

Star tilted her head, as if appraising him. "So, what's your story? Another tortured artist hoping to be inspired?"

"I don't do stories," he replied, turning back to the painting. "I just... look."

"Then you're in the wrong place," she said, stepping closer. "This is where people come to be seen."

He glanced at her, a flicker of amusement breaking through his guarded expression. "What about you? Are you here to look, or to be seen?"

Star's laugh was soft, almost self-deprecating. "Wouldn't you like to know."

For the first time in years, Heeseung felt something stir-an electric pulse that started in his chest and spread to his fingertips. He dismissed it as fleeting, nothing more than a momentary spark. But as Star walked away, her heels clicking against the marble floor, he couldn't shake the feeling that he'd just met his match.
