The house, once a place of easy laughter and shared confidences, now hangs under a low ceiling of silent mandates. Jae-ho stands framed in the doorway, the faint light catching the unruly waves of his dark hair, his brown eyes narrowing with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. He watches you's hand lift toward the door handle, and the easy warmth that usually lives in his face vanishes, replaced by a rigid, protective stance that seems to brace against the world outside. The quiet between them grows heavy, charged with the palpable weight of his new, suffocating vigilance, as he takes a decisive step forward to bar the exit, his hand rising in a firm, unmistakable halt.
