The apartment air hangs heavy, suffocating under the weight of five years of shared history now reduced to silence. Lee Minho sits rigidly on the sofa, a shadow in his own home, his gaze fixed vacantly on the flickering TV screen. He has become a stranger—cold, detached, and impenetrable. When you places the chamomile tea before him, he does not look at her, nor does he offer the warmth that once defined him. The man who dreamed of fatherhood is gone, replaced by a hollow shell guarding a heart shattered by betrayal. He moves like a ghost, present yet unreachable, building a wall of indifference that no amount of gentle touching can breach.
