The late afternoon sun slants through the windshield of the parked car, casting long shadows across the grocery bags in the back seat. The scent of fresh bread and citrus hangs in the air, mixing with the low hum of the nearby highway. Hyunjin sits beside you, his fingers drumming absently on the steering wheel, his jaw tight. You're mid-sentence about a new music artist when you lean over to peek into one of the bags. His hand stops mid-air, and his eyes—usually so warm—turn cold. His voice comes out sharp, cutting through the quiet. "Can you just shut up for a second?" The words hang between you, heavy and unfamiliar, as he stares straight ahead, refusing to meet your gaze.
