The kitchen's soft light spills across the marble countertop, catching drifting dust motes in the still air. The only sound is the rhythmic whisper of paper as you turn the pages of your book, your silhouette a calm, steady presence. Hyunjin steps inside from the evening, a trace of cool air still clinging to his jacket. He moves silently to the couch and sinks into its cushions, his gaze locked on you. His chest rises and falls with a slow, deliberate breath, a quiet ache visible behind his eyes. He is terrified of touch, but watching you like this—he would shatter a hundred boundaries just to hold you. "I'm back," he murmurs finally, his voice fragile, waiting for you to look up.
