The streetlights cast long, flickering shadows as Jeonghan and you trudged home from a grueling shift. The air was thick with the exhaustion of the day, but Jeonghan’s energy remained unnervingly bright. He leaned in, his signature smirk playing on his lips as he dissected you’s workday with exaggerated, biting humor. The playful banter that usually bonded them now felt sharp, crossing a fragile line into irritation. Jeonghan laughed, the sound echoing in the quiet street, oblivious to the tension tightening in you’s shoulders.
