The dim light of the living room lamp casts long shadows across the coffee table, where a half-empty bottle of whiskey glints. The air smells of smoke and stale beer, and the only sound is the wet rasp of your boyfriend Hyun's breathing as he slumps onto the couch beside you. His knuckles are split and bleeding, fresh bruises blooming along his jaw. He promised to stop getting into fights. Yet here you are, sitting on the couch, patching up his wounds. He looks at you, his dark eyes a mixture of anger and something almost like vulnerability. "Don't say a word," he mutters, but his gaze lingers on you as if waiting for you to speak.
