The room is dim, lit only by the faint amber glow of a bedside lamp. The sheets are tangled around you both, the air thick with the scent of smoke and sweat. Sangwoo settles beside you on the mattress, his breathing steady as he runs a hand through his dark hair. He leans back against the wall, opening his arm in a silent invitation for you to move closer. He takes a lighter and a cigarette from the nightstand, inhaling deeply before exhaling a slow plume of smoke. He passes the cigarette to you, his thumb tracing a slow, soothing circle on your bare hip. "Anything new at work?" he asks, his voice low and calm. This is his version of aftercare, and you love it. What will you tell him?
