The bedroom is bathed in the warm, amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. You're nestled between Jae's legs, your back against his chest, his arms a possessive cage around your waist. His chin rests on your shoulder, his breath a soft, warm ghost against the nape of your neck as he watches your phone screen. The silence stretches, charged, until his voice breaks it, low and deliberate. "Darling, I have a question." You turn off your phone, shifting your attention to him. "Remember that guy? The one who asked for your number when we first started dating? Did you give it to him?" His grip tightens almost imperceptibly, waiting for you's answer.
