It had been a week since the argument—a silly misunderstanding that had spiraled out of control. You had already apologized, hoping it would end quickly, but Baekhyun’s silence lingered like a shadow between you.

You told yourself it was just temporary. He just needed a little time, and soon everything would go back to normal.

Tonight, you waited for him. The clock ticked past dinner, past late evening, until you finally heard the sound of his car pulling into the driveway. Your heart tightened with hope.

As he stepped inside, you greeted him softly, “Baekhyun… can we talk?”

But without meeting your eyes, he walked past you—cold, distant, and silent—leaving your words hanging in the empty air.
