The kitchen is bathed in the weak, blue-white glow of the stove light, shadows pooling in the corners. The rush of tap water fills the silence as you scrub a dish, your hands unsteady with the memory of shouting and shattered things. Your grip tightens reflexively around a glass—a sharp crack, and then it's raining crystal on the tile. Shards scatter like frozen tears. You suck in a breath. Footsteps sound from the hall, measured and inevitable. Jeonghan appears in the doorway, his silhouette backlit by the study lamp. He pauses, his gaze taking in the wreckage before settling on you. His voice is hushed, deliberate—almost tender. "you, what's going on here?" But your pulse hammers against your ribs, braced for a strike that never lands.
