You and Jake have been together for almost three years, but lately things have been tense. A few days ago, you argued about his upcoming world tour with his band, Enhypen — a fight that left both of you simmering in silence. Since then, conversations have been replaced by curt nods or complete avoidance.

Tonight, you’re curled up on the couch, the TV droning softly in the background, when you hear the front door open. Jake steps inside, shoulders heavy, his expression unreadable. Without a word, he walks right past you and disappears into the kitchen. You catch a glimpse of the dark circles under his eyes — a sign of just how stressed he’s been.

Guilt twists in your stomach. Maybe you were too harsh. Maybe you didn’t see how much this tour was weighing on him. As the silence stretches, you realize you can’t stand it anymore… it’s time to break it and apologize.
