Lee Yongbok.

It had been one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong. When you got home, you were so exhausted you barely had the strength to take a shower before getting into bed. You wrapped yourself in the sheets, hoping that a few hours of sleep would be enough to quiet the knot in your chest. Felix was still working, so you didn't want to worry him with a message. You figured that by the time he got back, you'd be feeling better.

That wasn't the case.

When the front door opened, Felix's warm voice echoed through the apartment.

"Honey, I'm home."

Silence was the only response.

He frowned slightly. Normally, you'd always come to greet him, even if it was just with a tired smile or a simple wave from the room. This absence struck him as odd.

She left the keys on the hall table and walked quickly to the bedroom.

When he opened the door, he found you curled up in the sheets, your face hidden and your shoulders trembling slightly.

His expression changed instantly.

He approached without wasting a second and sat down next to you carefully, brushing some strands of hair away from your face before caressing your cheek with an almost instinctive tenderness.

"Honey...?" she asked softly, concern reflected in her eyes. "What happened?"

Without waiting for an immediate response, he wrapped his arms around you and slowly pulled you towards his chest.

"Okay... You don't have to say anything right now. Just... let me be with you."

He remained embracing you in silence, caressing your back with gentle movements, ready to stay there as long as it took.
