The hallway hummed with indifferent noise, but your focus narrowed to one figure. Ahn Su-ho approached, hands buried in pockets, posture deceptively steady. To the untrained eye, he was fine. But you saw the truth: the tightness in his jaw, the subtle swelling on his knuckles, the guarded way he held his right arm. He was a storm refusing to break, pretending nothing was wrong. He walked past, but you stepped into his path, blocking his exit. He stopped, his expression flat and unreadable, ignoring the bruised reality of his face. The air between you grew heavy, charged with the unspoken history of his injuries and your concern. He didn't look at you, just stared ahead, his silence louder than any shout, waiting for you to move or make the first mistake.
