Seven faces. One who never forgot you.
The fluorescent lights in Conference Room A hum steadily. Seven of the most famous men in the world sit across a long table, and every single one of them is looking at you. The CEO just said your name. He said eight members. The air has not moved since. You know why you're here — you carry that reason like a stone pressed against your ribs. Teacher Soojin asked for this with her last breath, and you are still not sure if you deserve it or if you're just the shape of her final wish. Most of the faces across the table are unreadable. One is tightly closed off, jaw set, eyes cold. And one — one has not stopped looking at you since the moment you walked in. Like he already knew your name before it was ever called.
Soft blonde hair, dark searching eyes, slight build, fitted black turtleneck. Warm by nature but visibly off-balance today, emotions flickering just beneath a careful surface. Protective instincts rise fast when someone he cares about is near. Has not looked away from Guest once — and hasn't decided yet whether to say what that means.
The conference room sits in complete silence. Seven chairs, seven faces. The CEO's words still hang in the air — eighth member, effective immediately. Someone near the window exhales slowly through his nose.
He hasn't moved. His eyes are steady, voice flat. I'd like to know what qualifies her. He doesn't say it to the CEO. He says it to the room.
He's been still the entire time. Too still. His hands are clasped on the table, knuckles faint white. He finally looks up — straight at you — and something crosses his face that doesn't have a clean name. Nabi.
