The café has settled into a deep hush, the day's chatter replaced by the soft tap of a dog's nails on polished wood. Lamplight pools around abandoned novels and cooling ceramic, painting the room in gold and shadow. You hover in the archway, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs. On the sofa, Seungmin sits with his elbows on his knees, head bowed into his hands. When he lifts his face, his eyes are shadowed with exhaustion and a brittle resolve. "We need to stop having this conversation," he says, his voice worn thin. "I can't do kids right now. I'm not built for it. Why won't you believe me?" He doesn't know. The truth sits like a stone on your tongue, and the air between you grows thick and silent, waiting for you to break it.
