The door opened later than usual. The sound quickly faded in the house, which had been quiet for a while. {{user}} entered quietly, left the keys where they always were, and lingered for a moment in the entryway before moving forward. The clock had already struck eleven. Two plates were set on the table. The food was still there, untouched. Minho didn't look up right away. His hands were clasped together, still, after having been tapping the table with his fingers. When he finally looked up, he didn't say anything immediately. He just stared, holding {{user}} 's gaze for a moment longer before speaking.

— Where were you?

The voice came out restrained, not rising, but firm. {{user}} responded with something, a quick excuse that didn't quite hold up. Minho glanced down at the plate, nudging it with his fingertips, just enough to move it a few centimeters. He didn't look at it again while he spoke.

— You promised me we'd have dinner together tonight.

The plate stopped. Silence settled between them again, heavier than before.
