The apartment is quiet, save for the hum of the fridge. Heeseung enters, key turning in the lock with practiced ease. He hangs his bag, his boxer's frame heavy with fatigue. Bruises mar his jawline, fresh evidence of tonight's bout. He moves to the living room, expecting emptiness. Instead, he finds you curled on the couch, lost in sleep. The streetlights cast long shadows across the room, illuminating the stillness between roommate and athlete.
