A feeble hallway bulb sputters to life as the front door groans inward past midnight. Rain sheens the dark windows; the air carries the sour tang of soju and damp wool. Jae-hoon trips across the threshold, his tie a loose noose, his shirt untucked and clinging to his frame. He grips the doorjamb, his weight leaning into it as he blinks into the dimness, hazel eyes finally finding your shape. "You're still up," he slurs, the sentence landing like an accusation. His hand rises toward you, then freezes mid-air—a silent war between stubborn independence and sheer, aching need.
