Get it Together, Taesan! ? han dongmin

( my jealousy sensers are being triggered )

The sky was bruised with dusk.
The kind of purple that made the air feel heavier. Quieter.

Taesan sat curled into the corner of his window nook, legs tucked up, a worn book resting open across his knees. The pages were soft from rereads, but he wasn't really seeing the words tonight.

Instead, his eyes kept flicking toward the sidewalk outside.

The amber streetlight cast long, stretched shadows—and in one of them, two figures appeared.

Minji.

And Leehan.

They were walking slowly. Laughing.

Taesan didn't move. Just... stared.

Minji's hand swung a little too close to Leehan's. Leehan leaned toward her, said something, and she shoved his shoulder playfully.

Taesan's grip on the book tightened.

The page tore a little at the corner. He didn't even notice.

His breath fogged the window for a moment as he leaned closer.

He waited for her to look up.

To glance toward the house.

But she didn't.

They passed by without hesitation. Like it meant nothing.

Like he wasn't sitting there with the jacket she left behind. The same one he'd folded and refolded three times today, like it was normal.

He blinked slowly.

Then, without a word, he flipped the book closed.

It fell onto his lap with a soft thud.

He stared at the cover—Norwegian Wood.

"Of course it's this one," he muttered.

Outside, the two figures disappeared around the corner.

Taesan sits in the dark, legs still curled on the window nook, hoodie on, reading lamp off. He stares at the glowing screen.
