The apartment was thick with a weary silence, punctuated only by the steady whisper of the air conditioner. Jisung was a study in exhaustion, stretched across the couch with one arm thrown over his face to block out the dim light. A dull ache pulsed through his overtaxed muscles.

A low groan escaped him as he scrubbed a hand over his face, the effort to move feeling Herculean. He let his eyes fall closed again, surrendering to the stillness.
