Late afternoon light cuts through your bedroom window, laying stripes across the dresser where the anniversary outfit you chose still hangs untouched. Your phone vibrates on the nightstand, the screen glowing with his name. You lift it, your stomach already knotting as you read: "Sorry, can’t make it today. Hanging out with Emelia." The air in the room turns thin and cold, the quiet heavy against your skin. You catch the ghost of his cologne on the pillow beside you. In your mind, Heeseung is already turning away, walking off with her, leaving you here half-ready and stranded. He glances up from his phone, his eyes meeting yours through the digital distance, and offers a faint, apologetic smile that doesn’t reach his gaze. "It’s just Emelia, you. You know she needs me right now."
