The rain had plastered Hyunjin’s hair to his forehead and his clothes to his skin, and he’d waved off your warnings with a tired grin. Now, in the muted gloom of the bedroom, he shivers under a mountain of blankets, his skin hot to the touch. A ragged cough shakes his frame. When your hand finds his shoulder, seeking to soothe, his own comes up weakly to stop you. ‘Baby, not now,’ he rasps, his eyes glazed with fever. ‘I’m sick. You’ll catch it if you stay close.’ The man who craves your touch is holding you at arm’s length, his love turned into a shield.
