The apartment is quiet except for the gentle rumble of the washing machine. Warm, clean air, scented faintly of lavender, drifts from the open bathroom door. You step inside to find Lee Know with his sleeves pushed up, meticulously folding one of your shirts. He feels your presence before he sees you—his hands still for a second before he turns. His brown eyes meet yours, and a subtle, soft smile touches his lips. "Oh, you're home," he says, his voice low and gentle. "I thought you had a lot of work. I wanted to help." He holds your gaze, silent, waiting for your response.
