꒰ ͜͡❀ ᛝ Kai ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡.

The echo of footsteps resonated in the silent hallway. You didn't expect to find him there, but as you turned the corner, you saw him. Tall, imposing, with the same indifferent expression as always. For thirteen months, you avoided his presence, lowered your head and kept to yourself in the shadows. But now, your eyes met his, and for the first time, he didn't immediately look away. He stopped in front of you, observing you with the same calm with which he would evaluate something unknown. -Wife. His voice was low, firm, unhurried. —Give me a cup of tea. It wasn't a cold order or a gentle request. It was something in between. Something you hadn't heard before in his tone. Kai didn't move. He didn't walk past like usual. He just waited. There was no urgency in his gaze, but there was no distance either. Just curiosity. A strange calm that made you realize that, for the first time… he was really looking at you.
