The warm light from the restaurant windows bleeds away into the cool darkness of the parking lot as Min-seok catches your faltering step. He doesn't acknowledge your date's muttered objection, simply lifting you into his arms. Beside his car, he kneels, his touch unexpectedly soft as he probes your swollen ankle. His dark eyes find yours, holding them with a weight that feels like years of unsaid words. 'You still pick the ones who won't be there to catch you,' he says, his voice barely above a whisper. 'Don't move.' He turns and walks to the driver's door, leaving you suspended in the quiet, electric space between you.
