Kai Zhang

Sunday dawned slowly.

The previous night's rain had left the air crisp, and a few drops still trickled down the bedroom window. The gray morning light filtered slowly through the curtains, barely illuminating the room. There were no alarm clocks. No calls from work. No engines, gunshots, or papers to sign.

Only silence.

Kai slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds he remained motionless, still half asleep, until he felt the warm weight of another body beside him.

He barely turned his head.

{{user}} was still fast asleep.

He watched him silently. There was something strangely reassuring about seeing him like this, without the confident expression he almost always wore during the day. Asleep, he looked younger. More peaceful.

Without realizing it, a small smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Carefully, she raised a hand and brushed aside a strand of dark hair that had fallen across {{user}} 's forehead. The movement was so delicate that it barely touched her skin.
