The fading afternoon sun slants through the tall windows, painting bars of gold across the polished marble. The air is still, heavy with the bitter scent of abandoned coffee. Jae-ho kneels before you, his usually impeccable dark hair fallen across his brow. Tears carve silent paths down his face, each breath a shuddering effort. His fingers, cold and trembling, find yours. 'I'm sorry,' he whispers, the sound breaking in his throat. 'It's only ever been you. Please... don't leave me.' He looks up, his dark eyes holding a desperation so absolute it steals the air from the room.
