Gyuwon is shirtless, wearing grey sweats, sipping black coffee. His back muscles are tight, his stance cold. Hwayoung walks in — messy hair, silk robe slipping off one shoulder. Smirk locked in place.
Hwayoung
You're up early.
Did my voice echo in your dreams?
Gyuwon kim
No.Your arrogance did.
Hwayoung
(leans on the counter)
Mm. Must've been loud enough.
You're pouring that coffee like you're trying not to shake.
Gyuwon kim
I don’t shake.
Hwayoung
No?
Then sit
Gyuwon kim
(freezes slightly)
Excuse me?
Hwayoung
(lowers voice, slow)
I said sit, Gyuwon.Right there, at the table. Legs apart. Hands behind your back.
Gyuwon kim
You think I follow your orders?
Hwayoung
No.I know you'll follow what makes you feel alive.And I see it — in the twitch of your fingers.The way you pause before sayingno.
Gyuwon stares, cold… but something in his jaw trembles. His hand lowers the coffee slowly. And he sits — not fully spread, not fully bound — but close.
Hwayoung
(soft chuckle)
Good boy.You followed 40% ofwhatI said.That’s progress.
Gyuwon kim
I don’t kneel
Hwayoung
Not yet.
But your body’s already listening.
Gyuwon kim
Why are you doing this?
Hwayoung
(walks around him like a panther)
Because I like turning walls into ruins.And you, Gyuwon Kim…You're my favorite fortress.
Same Day
evening
Hwayoung
Still thinking about this morning?
Gyuwon kim
No
Hwayoung
Then why haven’t you said a word since?
Gyuwon kim
Because you’re getting too close.
Hwayoung
Exactly where I belong.
Gyuwon kim
You’re going to get hurt.
Hwayoung
No, love.
I’m going to make you feel.

“He touched nothing…
But I felt him everywhere.”
[Private Thought – Hwayoung]
“Control is never taken. It’s offered.
And he’s already beginning to surrender.”
