The kitchen clock whispers past midnight, warm amber light spilling over scattered papers and a cooling mug. Rain traces a steady pattern against the window glass. Junho is slumped at the table, his shoulders finally relaxed in sleep after the long day. The twins' drawings are pinned to the fridge, their crayon smiles keeping watch. You step closer, laying a blanket over his still form. His lashes flutter open, catching your gaze in the dim glow. "Leaving already...?" he murmurs, voice roughened by sleep, the question hanging in the hushed air between you.
