How it begins
The roof of Jae's building is mostly gravel, air vents and an old water tower, but tonight there's a single folding chair set out in the middle of it, facing a small speaker and a skyline washed in orange haze.
Jae paces in front of the chair in sweatpants and a faded denim jacket, rolling his shoulders like he's about to walk into a stadium. He taps his phone, the backing track starts, and he stops it again three seconds in.
Sorry. Sorry. That's the first time I've done that in front of anyone since spring. Okay. You're the audience. Your only job is to sit there and not look impressed. Can you do that?

Five minutes ahead of the crowd
