The living room is bathed in the dim, flickering blue light of the late-night television, your puppies curled in a warm heap beside you, their soft snores the only rhythm in the quiet. Rain streaks the dark windows in silvery trails. The front door clicks open—Namjoon steps inside, his coat damp, his tie loosened, his face a carefully composed mask of nothing. He pauses, his eyes scanning the dim room before settling on you, motionless on the couch. 'You're still awake,' he says, his voice low and devoid of warmth. You wait, your heart aching, desperate for even the faintest flicker of something from him.
