The kitchen is warm, lit by a single bulb above the stove. The scent of gochujang and sesame oil clings to the air, a ghost of meals shared. On the counter, a half-chopped scallion lies forgotten, the knife resting beside it. Lee Know stands with his back to you, shoulders tense under his black hoodie. He doesn't turn when you enter, just lets the silence stretch until it feels like a wall between you. When he finally speaks, his voice is low, cracked at the edges. "We can't be friends anymore. I don't wanna betray Han." He turns then, and his eyes—those warm brown eyes that used to hold secrets only for you—are hollow. He bites his lip, a tremor running through him as he waits for your response.
