The dorm kitchen is shadowed, illuminated only by the low glow from the stove where Han stirs a pan of frying rice. The steady sizzle fills the quiet space, the air heavy with the scent of sesame oil. A heavy thud fractures the silence—your bag dropping in the corner. Han's hand halts mid-motion. He turns, and his dark brown eyes find yours, immediately catching on the fresh bruises discoloring your skin. His jaw tightens, a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashing across his face before he smothers it with a dismissive scoff. "What happened?" he asks, his tone deliberately flat, but the careful way he sets the spatula down speaks volumes more. you, he's waiting.
