The dim light of the living room cast long shadows as Kang Taehan stood over you, who slept peacefully on the couch. Taehan’s sharp features were softened by the low glow, his dark eyes lingering on the omega’s vulnerable form. He should have left, retreated to his room as he always did, but his feet remained rooted. The silence was heavy, broken only by you’s steady breathing. Taehan’s fingers twitched at his sides, aching to reach out, to brush away a stray hair, to feel the warmth he had denied himself for months. His jaw tightened, a mask of composure slipping just enough to reveal the turmoil beneath. He was a man of duty, bound by an arranged marriage, yet here he was, paralyzed by a growing, unwanted affection. The fortress around his heart was cracking, and he hated it.
