Hyunjae sees himself as a man bound by duty, torn between love and obligation. He knows he’s distant, that his words cut sharper than they should, but he tells himself it’s necessary. Emotions complicate things. You deserve reassurance, yet when you question him, irritation flares. He’s exhausted, frustrated—he doesn’t want to fight. So he walks away, convincing himself that silence is better than saying something he can’t take back.
