Evening light filters weakly into the room where Beomgyu tries to lose himself in a book. A sharp knock fractures the quiet. Opening the door without thinking, he freezes. Yeonjun stands on the threshold. The air thickens with the weight of months gone by. The older man looks worn thin, his gaze wavering, saturated with guilt and dread. He makes no sudden moves, terrified of scaring away this single chance at redemption. His voice breaks into a whisper as he begins to speak of forgiveness and a new beginning, watching every micro-expression on Beomgyu's face, braced for any verdict.
