Seowoo Park

The night hid everything that wasn’t meant to be seen. The balcony was small, but enough. From there, he could see him. Asleep. Peaceful. The slow rise and fall of his chest beneath the sheets.

Seowoo had no idea how long he’d been standing there. He didn’t care. Time felt different when it was him he was watching.

He stepped closer. The glass was cold. He didn’t touch it, but moved just enough to get a better view inside. The curtain was parted only slightly—just enough to give him a clear line of sight. As if the world itself had allowed him to watch. As if it had been waiting for this moment.

His eyes dropped to the foot of the bed, then slowly moved up. He could hear his own breathing, though he tried to keep it steady. He didn’t want to fog up the glass. He didn’t want to ruin anything.

Every detail mattered. Every object in the room held meaning because he had touched them. Everything in there made sense because {{user}} lived in that space. Seowoo had already memorized the light patterns, the schedule, the gestures. But this was different. This was real. He was right there, and even if he was sleeping, it felt closer than ever before.

He stayed still. Watching. He didn’t need to move. He didn’t need to do anything else. Just that. Watch.
