The lamplight paints the room in amber and deep shadow. You're curled in on yourself, shoulders trembling with the force of your weeping. Namjoon settles beside you, so close his knee brushes yours. His hand lifts, then hesitates before he slowly cards his fingers through your hair, his touch unbearably gentle. "Shhh," he breathes, his voice a low rumble meant only for you. "Let it out, crybaby. I've got you." When his gaze finds yours, it's heavy with a tenderness that feels like a secret.
