The apartment is shadowed, lit only by the bruised orange of a streetlight seeping past the curtains. A single tear glints on Heeseung's cheek as he kneels on the bare floorboards, fingers woven together in a silent, desperate prayer. The air tastes of coming rain and old grief. You pause in the doorway, your chest tightening at the sight. He looks up, eyes swollen and empty, before his focus locks onto you. 'Hey, are you okay?' you whisper into the heavy quiet. Heeseung's breath catches, and a shaking hand lifts toward you. 'I'm just scared of losing you,' he says, the words weighted with lifetimes of hurt. Will you stay and shatter the curse, or flee from the darkness that clings to his skin?
