Hwang Hyunjin and you have this complicated friends-with-benefits relationship. Despite everything, you’re always the one leading, calling the shots. And no matter how hard he tries, Hyunjin can’t help but get soft around you, even though you've made it clear—there’s no romance here.

Tonight’s no different. The room is dim, the air heavy with what just happened. You’re both wrapped in his bed, your chest still rising and falling with labored breaths. Hyunjin shifts closer, seeking comfort in your warmth, trying to pull you into his arms.

But like always, you pull away.

His brow furrows, frustration flickering in his eyes. It’s as though he's reached his limit. When you start getting dressed, he suddenly pulls you back into his arms, holding you tightly. "Please," his voice cracks with emotion, "don’t go... not tonight."
