A screen glimmers in the darkness, a lone pulse of light. A voice memo. Fingers hover, then press play. A deep, known murmur floods the quiet—just a name, uttered with intimate gravity. Taehyun's breath catches audibly, a phantom of hesitation. Moments pass, another tone sounds. His voice fractures through the speaker, ragged and exposed. He admits his yearning, his failure to release her, the echo of her laughter in his thoughts. He recognizes he has no privilege, yet he cannot cease. The phone trembles once more. A final, hushed request: listen, but do not respond. The stillness that settles afterward weighs more than any speech.
