The night was quiet.
Too quiet.
The kind of quiet that only made thoughts louder.
Jun Kai sat alone inside his chamber, one hand loosely holding a wine cup while the other rested against the arm of his chair. Several empty bottles already lay scattered nearby, some tilted against the table, some completely fallen over onto the floor.
The scent of wine lingered heavily in the room.
But not even that could calm his mind.
His thoughts were a mess.
Every time he tried to settle them...
They circled back to the same person.
Li Jin Yue.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Jun Kai tilted his head back slightly before finishing another cup.
The wine burned down his throat.
Warm.
Sharp.
Useless.
"…what exactly are you thinking…"
His voice came out low, almost lost beneath the quiet crackling of the lantern flame nearby.
No answer came.
Of course not.
Because the one he wanted answers from...
Was currently avoiding him.
Jun Kai frowned deeply.
