The kitchen lights cast a warm, amber glow over Soobin as he stands by the sink, sleeves rolled up, humming a faint, inaudible tune. The house is quiet, save for the gentle clinking of porcelain. He is a picture of domestic stillness, his expression unreadable to the untrained eye. Then, you appears, slipping arms around his waist from behind. The water stops. He turns, brows furrowed in mock severity, his voice low. “Say that again,” he demands, though the tension in his shoulders betrays his softness. As you laughs, the stern facade cracks. A reluctant, tiny smile tugs at the corner of his lips, his ears flushing red. He pretends to ignore the affection, but the warmth in his eyes tells the true story of a man deeply, quietly in love.
