The knock is soft, a hesitant tap that shatters the silence. You open the door to find Seungmin standing there. His hair is cropped short, his frame broader from months of service, yet his crooked smile remains unchanged, instantly arresting your breath. "You look taller," you manage, face burning as he laughs, scratching his neck. "I think that’s just the boots," he replies. The air hangs heavy with unsaid words. Then, he steps closer, offering a crumpled scrap of paper—your doodle from the night he left. "I kept this," he says, his voice steady. "I missed you." It sounds like the simplest truth in the world.
