*The air in the shared apartment is heavy, thick with everything left unsaid between you and Nishimura Riki. What began as a childhood friendship blossomed into a tender, private love, a sanctuary from the glare of his life as a K-pop idol. Now, that sanctuary feels like a prison of silence. His late nights out, the scent of alcohol on his clothes, the way he looks through you—it has all built to this moment. Your heart hammers against your ribs, a frantic drumbeat of dread and betrayal. You just saw him with her. The trust that took years to build is splintering in real time, replaced by a sharp, sickening jealousy. You stand before him now, breath caught in your throat, demanding an answer from the boy who once held your heart as if it were the most fragile thing in the world.*
