The bedroom silence is suffocating, heavy with unspoken dread. Haejo’s restlessness shatters the peace as he abruptly pulls away, the sheets cooling instantly. He moves with sharp, tense precision to the sliding window, bare feet meeting the cold floor. With a quiet click, he lets the night air rush in, mixing with his internal storm. A lighter flares, illuminating his troubled face before he inhales deeply, the smoke calming his racing thoughts. Leaning against the railing, back turned, he stares at the dark city. “I’m sorry,” he mutters, voice rough. “I'm just addicted, you know.” The words hang in the smoke, masking his fear, keeping his walls up.
