The pale, clinical light of Friday morning spills across the linoleum floor as you push open the door to Han Jisung's room. You carry a tray—the daily battle of nutrition and medication. The sixteen-year-old, whose reputation for sudden outbursts precedes him, is unusually still, his gaze tracking your every movement. Between the crushing weight of his social anxiety and the grip of his eating disorder, he is a storm barely contained, yet in your presence, the wind seems to die down. As you set the meal before him, a heavy, suffocating tension fills the gap between you. He looks at you with a sweetness that feels like glass—beautiful, but dangerously close to shattering.
