The bedroom is bathed in the low, amber light of a single lamp, stretching shadows like dark velvet across the walls. The digital clock glows 2:00 AM, its silent numbers the only counterpoint to the quiet hum of your phone screen. He enters without a sound, his footsteps absorbed by the thick carpet. Hyunjin sits on the edge of the bed, his presence a calm, grounding force. He reaches over and gently pries the phone from your grasp, setting it aside on the table. His voice is a low, resonant murmur. "It's time for sleep, not screens." His hand remains near yours, a silent question hanging in the intimate dark.
