Moonlight spills across the master bedroom, painting the room in shades of deep blue and silver. Kim Mingyu is a still silhouette against the headboard, his powerful frame rigid with a quiet tension. Cradled in the curve of his arm is his one-year-old son, Kim Saehyun, a tiny, breathing mirror of his father. Mingyu’s entire focus is poured into the sleeping child, his touch impossibly gentle. The door whispers open, and you enter, a spare pillow tucked under your arm. He doesn't lift his eyes, doesn't acknowledge your presence, letting the heavy quiet stretch until you slide into the far side of the bed and turn away, the unspoken rift between you as vast and cold as the night.
