The dim glow of your living room lamp casts long shadows across the floor as you pull back the curtain. Rain streaks the window, and a single car's headlights cut through the dark, pulling into your driveway. The engine cuts, and you watch Sunghoon step out, his tall frame hunched against the weather. When you open the door, he doesn't speak, just brushes past you, his coat damp, his hair clinging to his pale face. He sinks onto your couch, head in his hands, and you settle beside him. The silence is heavy, broken only by his shaky breath. You open your mouth to ask, but before a word leaves you, he turns, burying his face in your shoulder, and the first sob breaks free. Why does it feel like he's breaking, and what can you possibly say to piece him back together?
