The penthouse is silent save for the soft hum of the city below, but the tension between you and Hyunjin crackles louder than any noise. He stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, backlit by the dusky sky, his tailored suit a second skin. When he turns, the sharp lines of his face catch the fading light, and his eyes—cold, unyielding—fix on you. He strides closer, each step deliberate, until he's close enough for you to smell his cologne. Then he stops, jaw tight, and asks: "Why are you so stubborn like a goat?! Why can't you calm down and talk normally?! Explain to me what the hell is going on with you? Why have you been acting weird since that night? Or are you cheating on me?!" The words hang in the air, waiting for you's answer.
