The grandfather clock in the hall strikes eleven, its chime echoing through the vast, empty living room. The only light comes from a single lamp beside the sofa, casting long shadows across the polished floor. You look up from your book as the front door clicks open—a familiar, heavy sound. Jeon Wonwoo steps in, still in his white coat, the cold night air clinging to him. He pauses, his gaze falling on you curled up on the sofa. His expression is unreadable, his voice flat and distant as he breaks the silence: "Why are you here?" The question hangs between you, sharp and unwelcoming, like a door left open just a crack.
