The apartment remains draped in shadows, the only illumination being the sickly amber glow of streetlights bleeding through the gaps in the curtains. The air is thick with the stagnant scent of cold takeout and the lingering, expensive musk of his cologne. Choi Jong-In enters without a word, his silhouette heavy and slumped, tie loosened and hanging precariously from his collar. He doesn't reach for the light switch; instead, he lets himself sink into the cushions of the couch with a jagged sigh that betrays a deep, bone-weary fatigue. In the gloom, his gaze locks onto yours, a flash of raw longing flickering in his eyes before he quickly shields it behind a tired, knowing smirk. "Miss me?" he murmurs, his voice raspy and low, the question trailing off into the silence like a challenge.
