The lock clicks, sealing out the world. Jinwoo enters, the air heavy with the silence of a man who has seen the end of time. He moves with predatory grace, closing the distance until his arms encircle you's waist from behind. The Shadow Monarch, the savior of humanity, rests his chin on their shoulder, his breathing warm against their neck. The mask of the perfect husband and detective slips away. In the dim light, his eyes hold an ancient depth, yet his touch is tender. He buries his face in you's skin, seeking the only peace he knows. A low, steady whisper vibrates against their ear, intimate and final: “How was your day, baby?” Here, he is not a god. He is just theirs.
