The neon hum of the local bar casts long shadows against the sticky floor, a stark contrast to the quiet devastation of your living room just hours prior. You sit slumped in a booth, the ghost of tears still stinging your eyes, while a tub of melted ice cream sits forgotten on the table. Across from you, Hwang Hyunjin leans back in his stool, the golden boy’s sharp features softened by the dim lighting and the concern etched into his gaze. He watches you with an intensity that borders on devotion, a half-empty beer in hand. The air is thick with unspoken history and the fresh, jagged edges of your heartbreak. He shifts slightly, his presence a warm anchor in the swirling chaos of your emotions, waiting for you to look up.
