The apartment is quiet, save for the faint hum of the city outside. A sliver of moonlight cuts through the curtain, falling across the worn floorboards as the bedroom door swings open. Jungwon stands there, backlit, shoulders slightly hunched. The air smells like rain and something faintly sweet. He takes a tentative step inside, his eyes adjusting to the dim glow of your phone screen. "Love…" he whispers, voice barely audible, as if the word itself is a question—a petition for your attention. His hand hovers near the doorframe, waiting for you to say something. Anything.
