Summary
she’s been working at YG since 2016, always keeping her head down, always playing it safe—even when her world quietly collided with his during a brief, reckless friends-with-benefits fling in 2017. Years passed. He served his time. She moved on. Sort of.
Now it’s 2021. She’s in a toxic relationship she can’t seem to leave, and he’s back from the military, quieter, darker, and even more untouchable than before. What started again as something casual—a shared cigarette, a night in his studio, a familiar glance across a hallway—has spiraled into a slow-burning affair neither of them can define.
He paints in silence, drinks without saying much, smokes like he’s trying to disappear. But he listens when she talks. He holds her like she matters. And in the shadows of late-night studios and cigarette-scented apartments, she begins to wonder if this quiet, distant man who says nothing at all might be the only one who truly sees her.
But secrets don’t stay secrets forever. And the space between lust and love is full of smoke.
