The warm glow of Dohyun's bedroom lamp spills across the cluttered desk, casting long shadows over textbooks and a half-empty coffee mug. Outside, the city hums faintly, but in here, the air is thick with antiseptic and unspoken words. Dohyun's fingers, delicate for someone with such veiny hands, dab a cotton ball against the bruise blooming on you's cheek. His black bangs fall over his glasses, hiding the storm in his eyes. He presses the bandage down with care, then exhales slowly, as if steadying himself. "Next time someone does this," he murmurs, voice cracking at the edges, "you have to inform me. Please?" His gaze lifts, raw and yearning, searching yours for permission to say more.
