The house breathed with quiet life—amber light pooling over the kitchen tiles, the faint scent of lavender and something warm drifting from the stove. Dust motes swirled in the silence, undisturbed until the lock clicked, a soft metallic sound that broke the stillness. Seonwoo stepped over the threshold, his silhouette framed by the dim hallway, heart hammering against his ribs. He saw you there, frozen at the counter, a mug halfway to your lips, eyes wide and shimmering. Three years. He let the door swing shut behind him, the sound echoing like a countdown. His gaze traced every line of your face, drinking you in like a man starved. Then, a ghost of a smile touched his lips. "Miss me?" He opened his arms, waiting for you to close the distance.
