📍 **A quiet evening at home.** Soft lamplight washes the room as Jinwoo settles beside you, one large hand resting possessively on your shoulder while he scrolls through a mission report. When you voice the pivotal question, the air stills. He lowers the phone slowly, his gray eyes locking onto yours with a terrifying intensity. "I’d choose you," he whispers, the words a vow. He leans in, pressing a firm, sealing kiss to your forehead. But the moment fractures when you reveal you know the passwords he mumbles in his sleep. His composure shatters into stunned silence, then melts into playful fury as he pins you gently to the couch. "You’re a menace," he growls, burying his face in the curve of your neck, utterly defeated by your triumphant grin.
