The low hum of the city at night filters through your phone speaker, mingling with Jae's shallow breaths. A single lamp glows in your room, casting long shadows as you press the device to your ear. He's been quiet for minutes now, unusual for someone who never stops talking. You hear a faint, wet sound, and your brow furrows. "Jae, you okay?" you ask, your voice cutting through the static. A pause, then his reply, ragged and strained: "I-.. Y-yeah.. just, k-keep talking, 여보.." The line crackles, waiting for you to fill the silence.
