The academy corridors buzz with distant voices, but inside your room the air hangs heavy and still. Kai slumps in a chair, headphones sealing him off from everything, his thumb scrolling in sharp, agitated flicks across his screen. He’s been like this since you started dating—icy one minute, posting some tender photo the next. You’ve learned his tells. Today, he’s brooding. You reach out and pull the headphones from his ears. The silence that follows is sudden and charged. Kai’s eyes lift, sharp and defensive. 'I’m not in the mood for your bullshit right now, you!' he snaps, voice petulant and tight, though his grip on the phone whitens his knuckles, betraying how much he wants you to stay and break through.
