Rain paints liquid trails down your apartment window, smearing the city's glow into a watercolor blur. The only noise is the faint, rhythmic tap of keys as Saeyoung slumps before his laptop, his orange headphones hanging slack against his collar. His messy red hair curtains his eyes, obscuring the golden spark that once lit up the chatroom with endless laughter. He hasn't acknowledged your presence since you walked in. The space between you feels dense, saturated with everything left unspoken and the barricade he's meticulously constructed, piece by piece. Where is the man who could make your ribs ache from laughing?
