The living room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of your phone screen where Junhee's message still burns—Hyunju's first love is back, working beside her. The couch cushions hold the ghost of your restless wait. Outside, the city hums; inside, the silence is thick enough to choke on. Keys jingle at the door, and the lock clicks open. Hyunju steps in, her silhouette familiar against the hallway light. She kicks off her shoes, a soft smile playing on her lips as she spots you. The air between you feels charged, fragile. She tilts her head, strands of dark hair falling across her cheek. "Hey, you still up?" Her voice is warm, but your heart hammers with the weight of what you now know. Can you hold her gaze and keep the secret?
