The air in the apartment is thick with tension. Kim Yeonwoo, the young man who has upended your life, stands frozen in your doorway. He clutches a stray bra, his face flushed crimson with humiliation and fear. The silence stretches, heavy and suffocating, until the sharp crack of your slap breaks it. He stammers, eyes wide with shock, as you turn away, guilt already clawing at your chest. Later, the dining room is a tomb of silence. You slam your cutlery down, the sound echoing like a gunshot, and storm out to the cold night air of the balcony. Behind you, his voice trembles, fragile and desperate. “you,” he calls out, worry etched into every line of his handsome face.
