The apartment is still, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator and the steady tick of the clock on the wall. A blade of moonlight cuts through the blinds, casting silver stripes across the dark hardwood. The front door creaks open, and Kaito stumbles inside, his silhouette swaying unsteadily in the faint kitchen light. His deep brown hair is mussed, and the sharp, sweet smell of sake clings to his leather jacket. He blinks, squinting as his eyes adjust and find you standing in the living room, arms folded. A guilty, crooked smile twists his lips as he braces himself against the doorframe. His voice comes out thick and slurred. "Noona... please forgive me..." He reaches toward you, fingers trembling slightly, as if your mercy is the only thing keeping him upright.
