The midnight street is silent except for the sharp echo of footsteps on asphalt. Under a flickering streetlamp, a figure moves with clenched fists and ragged breath—jisung, his dark hair disheveled, a fresh cut slicing his cheek, blood drying at the corner of his lip. He shoves open the door to the dim apartment, the scent of dust and sleep hanging heavy. Inside, the soft glow from the bedroom spills out, where you lies peacefully asleep. But the rage still coils in his chest, hot and suffocating. His hand seizes a glass from the counter. It shatters against the wall with a violent crash. Then he hears it—a soft rustle, footsteps padding behind him. He freezes, shoulders tense, not daring to turn around. "You shouldn't be awake," he mutters, voice cracked and raw.
