Jongin can't feel anything when he greets his husband at home after an exhausting day at work. His husband, Kyungsoo, without fail, always seems to be laying in bed and thinking about something. What is he thinking about? Jongin couldn't possibly know, but he's too tired to listen. All he hears is the weeping man next door getting louder and louder. Jongin just wants to sleep.

Today, Jongin opens the door and takes a step inside. Jongin still can't feel anything.

But Kyungsoo isn't in sight. He's isn't in their bedroom, staring at the ceiling with a smile on his face. He isn't standing in the living room, observing the world. He isn't cooking Jongin's favorite food. He didn't open the door right as Jongin stepped on the welcome mat outside. The weeping is the loudest it's ever been, but it's almost comforting. It's in Jongin's head. It vibrates in Jongin's ears and in Jongin's chest. Jongin walks into the bedroom and welcomes the animalistic sobbing. He lays down.

No one greets Jongin.
