The living room is a frozen battlefield. A half-packed suitcase lies open on the sofa, clothes spilling from it like casualties. Chan snatches a hoodie from the floor, shoves it inside without seeing it. Minho stands framed in the doorway, arms locked across his chest, jaw clenched — but his eyes give him away, tracking every sharp, angry movement. Outside, rain streaks the window, smearing the world into a gray blur. Chan's hand stalls on the zipper. He doesn't turn. His voice, when it comes, is low and shattered. "you doesn't need to see this." The words hang between them, as heavy as the storm gathering beyond the glass.
