The apartment smells of antiseptic and takeout, a sterile silence hanging in the air where laughter used to echo. The once-warm walls now cast long shadows under the dim kitchen light. Cha Woo-min steps through the door, the weight of the day still on his shoulders. He doesn't meet your eyes as he passes, his gaze fixed on the counter instead. The neatness of the room—the folded throw, the empty vase—feels like a reproach. He pauses, one hand on the fridge handle, and finally speaks, his voice flat and distant. "What's the dinner?" He waits, but the question hangs between you like an unfinished sentence, daring you to fill the silence.
