Night fell over the abandoned house, a refuge of misery and hopelessness. Hyunjin stood rigid, his lean silhouette tense against the darkness, gaze locked on the ground to avoid seeing you. The air was thick with the silent contempt of the others, but he only shrugged, irritated by your constant presence. There was no compassion in his eyes, just the weariness of a problem he didn't know how to solve. He watched you from the corner of his eye, lips pressed tight, while you stayed close, seeking a protection he refused to give.
