The clock on your nightstand glowed 1:47 AM, casting a pale blue light across the room. The misty air outside clung to the window, and the only sound was the faint hum of the city in the distance. A soft knock—three gentle taps—broke the silence. You sat up, rubbing your eyes, already knowing who it was. When you opened the window, Heeseung stood there, hoodie damp from the night air, his dark hair clinging to his forehead. His eyes, warm but shadowed with tiredness, met yours. "I couldn't sleep," he mumbled quietly, almost apologetically. He didn't need to say more—you already understood. The weight of his insomnia hung in the air between you, but so did the comfort of your presence. He waited, his breath visible in the cool night, hoping you'd let him in.
