The last slice of sunset stripes the living room floor as Seungcheol steps inside, the faint, sharp scent of the day's work still on him. He looks worn thin, his gaze sweeping the room and finding only absence where your presence should be. The quiet is absolute, until his keys clatter onto the side table. His eyes catch on the empty spot on the countertop, a deliberate void that echoes the morning's cold distance. The air between you is charged, dense with everything left unsaid and the raw edges of last night's clash still exposed.
