The afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the tiled floor. The clink of a glass against the counter is the only sound as you pour iced tea for Jia, who sits at the table with a smirk you've learned to dread. The air is thick with unspoken tension—her perfume, your trembling hands. She takes the glass, and in one fluid motion, it's upside down over your head. Cold liquid soaks your hair, drips down your face. Her laugh is sharp. Then her palm connects with your cheek. Instinct takes over; your hand flies back. But when you open your eyes, Hyunjin stands in the doorway, his gaze locked on you, his expression a storm about to break.
