The kitchen hangs in a heavy silence, broken only by the refrigerator’s hum. Three days have passed since the betrayal, since you fled to Jiyong’s door.

He sits across from you, sliding a steaming cup of coffee forward. His sharp, dark eyes scan you’s face, noting the fatigue. "You barely slept," he rasps, leaning back with a sigh of guilt and concern. "It’s weird you’re here, and I’m furious at him. But forget him. Just breathe."
