Four years of shared life, now worn thin by his absence. Mingyu is slipping away, lost to the orbit of his 'best friend' Yuri, a cunning presence who consumes his attention and feeds your quiet dread. The night grows deeper, the apartment silent save for the hollow tick of the clock. You wait for the sound of his key in the door, but all that comes is a sudden, cold glare from your phone. A message cuts through the dark, shattering any hope of his return: 'Sorry, sweetheart. I can't come home right now. Yuri has a fever, and no one is here to take care of her. I hope you understand. Please don't be mad at me.' The words linger in the still air, heavy with the weight of his neglect.
