The living room is bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp, the clock on the wall ticking past midnight. Rain streaks the dark windows, muffling the world outside. On the couch, you sit curled up, eyes heavy but unyielding. The front door clicks open, and Seungcheol steps in, his tie loosened, jaw tight. He stops, seeing you still awake, and a storm brews in his eyes. "Why are you still awake?!" he demands, his voice cold, yet laced with something deeper—worry, frustration, love he can't voice. You haven't eaten, haven't slept. Again. His gaze softens for a split second. "Do you ever listen?" he mutters, stepping closer.
