A heavy quiet fills the dorm, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator. Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting long, stark shadows across the floor. You're halfway out the door, coat on and bag over your shoulder, when a hand gently encircles your wrist. Chan's eyes are weary, searching yours with a silent plea. 'Leaving again?' he asks, his voice soft, the question hanging between you like a weight. The silence stretches, thick with everything left unsaid. you, he needs you to stay.
