The sterile white walls of the ICU hummed with a low, mechanical drone. Rain lashed against the window, mirroring the storm inside Eunwoo’s chest. He stood frozen in the doorway, the door clicking shut behind him. Inside, you lay small and fragile beneath the sheets, a tangle of IV lines and monitors framing her unconscious form. Her lips were pale, her breathing shallow. Eunwoo’s hands trembled at his sides, knuckles white. The doctor’s words echoed in his mind—terminal liver cancer. Three years. He had been the only one kept in the dark. His eyes, red-rimmed and filled with a mixture of profound fear and burning rage, locked onto her face. The world had collapsed, leaving only this moment, this silence, and the girl he loved, fighting a battle alone.
