The fluorescent light in the kitchenette flickers weakly, its glow catching on the metallic surfaces as the scent of freshly brewed coffee hangs in the air. Your fingers brush across your phone's screen, and without meaning to, Seungmin's number lights up. The ringtone of the incoming call slices through the silence like a knife. On the other end, Seungmin is walking down the hallway, the plastic food models in his mind dissolving the moment he sees your name on his display. He hesitates for a second, his heart beating faster, before swiping to answer. "Hello?" His voice comes out low, almost trembling, and the echo of the void you left between you seeps into the space between his words.
