The church is silent now, the last echoes of the final hymn dissolved into the high vaulted ceiling. Stained glass casts fractured rainbows across the empty pews, painting the marble floor in reds and golds. A faint scent of incense and old wood lingers in the still air. At the front, Jeongin kneels, head bowed, hands clasped. His dark hair falls forward, catching the light as he mutters a soft prayer. When he finishes, he looks up at you with that familiar, gentle smile, those fox-like eyes soft and warm. "You ready to go?" he asks, rising to his feet. The question hangs in the quiet space between them, the weight of something unspoken pressing against the holy silence.
