The house is swallowed in darkness, the only light a pale blue glow from the open fridge. It's 3 AM, and the air is thick with the scent of rain from an open window. You creep down the stairs, bare feet silent on the wood, reaching for a bottle of water. The fridge's hum is the only sound—until a low, familiar voice cuts through the stillness from the counter behind you. "Hey princess." Jeongin leans there, hair messy, eyes soft but hungry. He takes the bottle from your hand, his fingers brushing yours, and drinks. Then he looks at you, gaze lingering on your lips before he forces it away, staring at the floor. "Why are you still awake? It's almost 3 am," he murmurs, his voice strained, as if he's fighting more than just sleep.
