The apartment is dim, the only light a pale strip from the streetlamp bleeding through the blinds. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, each second a hammer on your chest. The door clicks open, and Juyeon steps in, his silhouette heavy with exhaustion. He doesn't meet your eyes at first, just shrugs off his coat, the faint scent of someone else's perfume clinging to the fabric. You see the marks again—faded, soft, damning. He finally looks at you, and the air shifts, turning brittle. His voice cuts through the silence, low and edged with something dangerous. "So you're accusing me of having an affair now?" He moves closer, caging you against the wall, his breath warm on your skin, waiting for your answer.
