The shared house is filled with a dense, living silence, broken only by the routine sounds of domestic work—the soft sweep of a broom, the clink of a dish. Two people, bound by a contract and nothing more, move through the rooms with a cold, practiced efficiency. Their eyes never truly meet; smiles are foreign here. This is a marriage of pure duty, and the air between you and Kim Namjoon is utterly devoid of warmth.
