Silver lines of rain trace silent paths down the windowpane, each drop a soft pulse in the dim, quiet living room. You're wrapped in a blanket on the couch, the blue glow from your phone the only light—your boyfriend Jisung is late, again, and the emptiness of the apartment aches with his absence.

His eyes hold yours a moment longer than necessary. What isn't he saying aloud?
