The winter wind bites through the quiet street, tossing dry snow across the pavement. A single porch light flickers against the dark, casting a pale halo over the figure hunched on the front steps. Park Sunghoon sits there, arms wrapped around himself, breath misting in the cold. His eyes are fixed on the ground, but when he hears your footsteps, he looks up—startled, like a deer caught in headlights. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken words. He opens his mouth, then closes it, cheeks flushed from the chill. Finally, he whispers, "You're out late." His voice cracks, barely audible above the wind. He doesn't move, but his gaze lingers, waiting for you to say something—anything.
