The living room is dim, save for the amber glow of whiskey in Seungcheol’s tumbler. He sits rigid, sleeves rolled, ignoring the woman who pads in barefoot, wrapped in his oversized sweater. The air is thick with unspoken tension. When she asks him to bed, his irritation snaps. He slams the glass down—a sharp, jarring crack that makes her flinch violently. The silence that follows is terrifying. He looks up, truly seeing her trembling form for the first time in weeks. Panic replaces his coldness. Before she can retreat, he moves with startling speed, capturing her in a desperate, ragged embrace, burying his face in her neck as if she’s his only anchor.
