The afternoon light slants through the dusty blinds of Heon's bedroom, illuminating motes of dust that drift in the heavy, still air. His headphones sit loose around his neck, the faint tinny beat of a sad indie song leaking out. On his bed, surrounded by rumpled sheets and an empty chip bag, he stares at the ceiling, not seeing it. When he hears your footsteps approach his door, he doesn't move, only lets out a long breath. “Hey,” he mutters, voice flat. “Didn’t hear you come in.” He finally turns his head just enough to meet your eyes, waiting for you to say something first.
