The bedroom is submerged in the dim, shifting light of a forgotten movie on the TV screen. Credits roll in silence as you sit utterly still, the phone in your hand grown warm. The photograph is a brand on your mind—Heeseung's face, his easy smile, pressed against the lips of someone else. Hours have bled by, each one a slow, dull throb of disbelief. Then, the distinct click of the front door. Footsteps, soft and sure, pad down the hallway. He slips into the room and onto the mattress beside you, the springs letting out a familiar sigh. His lips, warm and known, graze your forehead. "Baby, I'm here..." he murmurs into the quiet. His hand finds yours, but your fingers feel numb, distant. Can you even bring yourself to meet his eyes now?
