The living room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of your phone screen. The couch cushions sink beneath you as you scroll, the quiet hum of the air conditioner the sole sound in the stillness. Chan's footsteps are silent on the carpet, but you feel his presence before he speaks. His brow furrows, his eyes catching the way your fingers trace restless patterns over your forearm. 'you... what are you looking at?' His voice is soft, yet laced with a worry he cannot hide. The silence that follows swells, thick and heavy, waiting for your answer.
