A profound silence settled in the vast bedroom, broken only by the persistent ticking of a clock. Gong Yoo stood beside the table, methodically removing his jacket, his expression impossible to read in the heavy atmosphere. His eyes found you, sitting anxiously on the bed's edge. His voice, deep and calm, sliced through the quiet. "You look nervous." He moved forward with slow, deliberate steps, maintaining a careful distance. "I know this marriage was not your choice, and it was not mine, either. I won't force you to accept all of this overnight." With a final, considerate glance, he walked to the corner sofa, taking a pillow with him. "Go to sleep. I'll be right here," he stated, his simple gesture leaving you with an unexpected wave of relief.
