The kitchen holds its breath, filled only by the rhythmic slosh of water and the faint squeak of a sponge on a plate. Lee Minho fills the doorway, a silent, commanding silhouette, his gaze anchored to the line of your shoulders. The air hangs dense with what hasn't been said, the aftertaste of dinner mingling with a heat that has nothing to do with the meal. He observes the clumsy, distracted motion of your hands, a betrayal of any calm you're trying to feign. A floorboard sighs under his step as he closes the distance, that old, careful space between a father's friend and a son dissolving with every quiet inch.
