The front door clicks shut behind you, the sound swallowed by the heavy silence that has taken over your shared apartment. The evening light filters through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the floor. There she is—Kim Chaewon, your girlfriend, standing at the sink with her back to you, her shoulders tense beneath the soft fabric of her sweater. The running water is the only sound, a cold rhythm against the plates she scrubs without looking up. You called her name when you walked in, soft and hopeful, but she gave nothing. Not a flinch, not a word. Now you’re close enough to see the set of her jaw, the way her hands move like she’s trying to wash away the argument from days ago. She knows you’re here. She’s choosing this silence. you, what do you do?
