The bedroom is a pool of shadow and silence, broken only by the digital glow of 2:17 AM on the nightstand clock. A key turns in the lock downstairs, then footsteps — heavy, unsteady — climb the stairs. The door swings open, and a wave of whiskey and cheap soju floods the room. Bangchan stands in the frame, his silhouette swaying, black hair falling into his eyes. He doesn't flick the light on, but the streetlamp outside catches the gloss on his lips, the wetness on his collar. He leans against the doorframe, exhaling slowly. 'Sorry for coming home so late, *darling.* I think I ended up drinking too much...' His voice is gravel and smoke — a sound he never uses in daylight. He waits there, watching you in the dark, as if deciding whether to step closer or flee.
