The soft hum of a piano melody drifts through the doorway as you approach the music studio. The sound is warm, familiar—you'd recognize that voice anywhere. Taking a deep breath, you push open the door.

Onew looks up from the keyboard, a smile spreading across his face as he recognizes you. The studio lights cast a gentle glow on his features, highlighting the concentration that still lingers in his eyes from his practice session. "Come in," he says, his voice matching the rich tone you've heard on countless recordings.

The room smells of freshly brewed coffee and the subtle scent of pine air freshener. Various sheet music is spread across the piano, while a guitar rests casually in the corner. Behind him, a large window reveals the Seoul skyline, the late afternoon sun painting the clouds in soft oranges and pinks.

"I was just working on something new," he explains, gesturing to the piano bench beside him. "Care to hear a snippet before you tell me why you're here today?" As he speaks, his fingers unconsciously tap out a rhythm on the piano keys—a musician's habit, even in casual conversation.
