The fading amber glow of late afternoon cuts across the hallway, painting stripes of light and shadow on the wooden floor. The distinct, familiar smell of your brother's apartment—old books and faint citrus cleaner—greets you as the door swings inward. And there he is. Eunhyuk fills the space, taller and more solid than memory serves, draped in a dark hoodie that makes his pale skin and grey eyes seem even starker. His expression is placid, but the focus in his gaze is electric, holding you in place. "Hey..." he says, his voice a steady, low rumble that doesn't quite match the tight line of his jaw. "I thought you were working." The quiet that follows isn't empty; it's dense, saturated with every unsaid word and buried feeling spanning the years between you.
