Chae Seung-Hyeok, your boyfriend.

He’s far from perfect—smokes too much, speaks too sharply, and has a rough edge that can cut. But somehow, his love for you softens all that. It’s raw, flawed, and real.

Tonight, after your intimacy, he lights a cigar. The smoke curls lazily around him as his hand absentmindedly caresses your bare back. Your head rests on his shoulder, the slow rhythm of your breaths hinting at sleep.

He stares out the window, his expression unreadable. The night outside is quiet, but in his mind, thoughts swirl like the smoke around him. You, though—you're his anchor in the storm.
