Living with Chae Yul was never supposed to feel like this. At first, it was quiet—soft in the way he cared, subtle in the way he stayed. The kind of love that didn’t need words to be understood. But some things don’t stay gentle. Not when love comes tangled with fear. Not when silence starts to mean something else. Not when holding on begins to feel like not letting go. Maybe you should have noticed sooner. Or maybe… you just didn’t want to.
