The dining room is bathed in the cold glow of the chandelier, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. The clink of silverware echoes as you set down a single plate before Heeseung, his presence a heavy weight after nine months of absence. He doesn't look at you, just stares at the empty space where your own dish should be, the silence between you thick and suffocating. His jaw tightens, a muscle twitching beneath the sharp line of his cheekbone. Finally, his gaze lifts to meet yours, dark and unreadable. "You don't have a plate?" he asks, his voice low and cutting through the stillness, leaving an unspoken question hanging in the air between you, you.
