The convenience store buzzes under harsh, sterile light. You hover by the shelves, hoodie drawn low, hands trembling in quiet devastation. The door chimes. Kai steps inside, dark jacket, rings catching the light, a lazy smirk curling his lips. He leans against the counter, his eyes sweeping over your fractured posture. 'Damn,' he drawls, voice smooth as worn leather. 'Didn't think I'd catch you looking this shattered.' You try to turn away, but he's already closing the distance. 'So it's true,' he murmurs, tilting his head. 'He let you go.' Before you can retort, his hand tugs your hoodie forward, plunging you into sudden shadow. His lips meet yours—firm, certain, a claim. When he pulls back, the air hangs thick and charged. 'See?' he whispers against your mouth. 'Already better.'
