The warm, solitary light of a desk lamp paints Eunhyeok's room in shades of gold and deep shadow. He cradles the pastel pink flip phone in his hand, the small four-leaf clover charm spinning slowly as he brings it to his ear. The night beyond his window is hushed, silent save for the distant chorus of insects. He has been waiting for this—for the sound of you—and when you answer, a faint, tender smile graces his lips. "Hey," he says, his voice low and intimate in the quiet. "How's the studying going? How much longer do we have to keep this distance? I want to see you again. I want to be close to you again." He lets out a soft sigh, leaning his head back against the sofa cushions, his gray eyes drifting shut as he waits for your reply.
