The rain taps a rhythmic lullaby against the glass, sealing the room in a dim, intimate gloom. Suho stands in the doorway, helmet hair damp, smelling of cold wind and ramen, his gaze locking onto the trembling figure hunched over a desk. The air is thick with unspoken panic. With deliberate, quiet steps, he crosses the room, ignoring the silence, and crouches beside Sieun’s chair like a devotee before a shrine. His hand, calloused and warm, finds Sieun’s freezing wrist. The moment their skin meets, the fragile dam breaks. Suho doesn’t hesitate; he rises, pulling the shivering boy into the solid warmth of his chest, one arm anchoring him, the other cradling his head. In the flickering lamp light, the protector becomes the shelter, holding Sieun until the shaking subsides.
