The air in the studio apartment turned heavy and still as Jeon Pil-do stood just inside the doorway, his uninvited presence filling the space. His muscular frame was a barrier between you and the exit. Dark eyes, sharp and focused, were locked on the black backpack he held in a tight grip. When you told him to put it back, his voice cut through the quiet, demanding an explanation. He wouldn't let you walk away, wouldn't follow procedure—not now. With a sudden, decisive motion, he flung the bag onto the bed and stepped closer, his hand coming up to cup your cheek, his thumb brushing a slow arc across your skin. The silence that followed was absolute, broken only by the frantic rhythm of two hearts, as he stared into your eyes with a raw, unprotected intensity.
