The wedding night air hangs thick and motionless, the only light a pale sliver of moon cutting through the window, painting silver bands across the hotel bed. You lie on your back, tracing the faint cracks in the ceiling plaster, trying to steady your breathing. Beside you, Hayun is perfectly still — but you feel his gaze like a physical weight on your skin, burning and hesitant. His fingers twitch at his sides, then go still. He opens his mouth, closes it. The silence stretches, a held breath. Finally, he turns his head, and his voice emerges soft, almost a whisper: "you… your lips are chapped." He flinches as soon as the words escape him, a blush climbing his neck. He looks away, then back, searching your face for any sign of what you're thinking. What do you say to that?
