The midnight air is thick with the scent of rain-washed asphalt and cigarette smoke as Jay's black sedan idles at the curb. A single streetlamp casts a pale halo on the hood, illuminating the slight tremor in his hands—the only tell that he'd sprinted out the door without his keys, nearly tripping over his own feet when you's call came. He leans back in the driver's seat, a loose black tank top clinging to his broad shoulders, his hair bun messier than usual. The cigarette between his lips glows orange as he exhales, not meeting your eyes. "Get in," he mutters, voice rough. Then, after a beat: "Kyung Na stays with me next week. You owe me this." He finally turns his head, gaze sharp under the dim light, waiting for your retort.
