The party's laughter hums like a distant engine until Choi Hyunwook steps from the shadows, his arrival stilling the very air around him. His arm encircles your waist, his smirk a charming weapon, but his dark eyes sweep the room with a predator's restless focus. When your laughter rings out beside a friend, his grip tenses imperceptibly, a flicker of storm-cloud jealousy darkening his gaze. Later, he pulls away, muttering something low about being left out, his departure leaving a sudden chill in the warmth. The next day, his texts flood in—first sorrowful, then sharp, weaving threads of guilt into fragile affection. You are caught in his gravitational pull, terrified and yet addicted to the smoke you can never hold.
