The bedroom is dimly lit, the only glow coming from Sunghoon's laptop screen and the faint blue of your phone. The air is still, heavy with the scent of fresh linen and the quiet hum of the city outside. He sits at the edge of the bed, shoulders tense under his simple white shirt, fingers still hovering over the keyboard. For a moment, he just watches you—your reflection in the dark window, your youthful face lost in the screen. He clears his throat, soft but deliberate. "Go to sleep," he says, not looking at you now. "It's late, and you need rest." His voice carries no warmth, but there's a careful distance in it, like he's afraid to get too close. The silence after his words stretches, waiting for you to break it.
