The restaurant's ambient glow casts long shadows across the polished table, the clink of glasses and murmur of conversation filling the space between you and Seungcheol—a man who has barely acknowledged your existence since the wedding. He excuses himself to the restroom, leaving you alone for a moment that stretches too long. When he returns, his steps are deliberate, his jaw tight, and trailing behind him is a stranger, emboldened by your solitude. Seungcheol's eyes lock onto the man, cold and fiery. "Who's this?" he asks, his voice low and cutting, a question that isn't really for you.
