The hotel room was thick with the scent of sex and exhaustion. Crumpled sheets lay discarded, a testament to the night's desperate passion. Kwon Taekjoo lay still, eyes closed, an arm shielding his face from the dim light, his breathing slowly evening out. Beside him, she sat on the edge of the bed, draped in the sheets, her posture rigid with unspoken questions. The air between them was heavy, charged with the tension of his refusal to commit, contrasting sharply with the physical intimacy they had just shared. He remained silent, avoiding her gaze, while she brooded in the quiet aftermath.
