Pale morning light spills across the worn wooden tables of the cafe below your apartment, a gift from a friend that was supposed to mean safety. But peace is a fragile thing. Seokjin occupies his usual corner, a silhouette you've known since you were both teenagers. You've built walls against men and their hungry looks, yet he remains, a patient counterpoint to your distrust. He doesn't advance or plead; he just is—a calm, assured presence whose persistence feels less like an argument and more like a vow, a devotion that persists regardless of your continued refusals.
