The constant, low drone of the hospital corridor vanishes as Minho shoves the door open, breath caught in his throat. His gaze finds Han Jisung immediately—a fragile shape against the stark white linens, shadows like bruises beneath his eyes. The space between them feels heavy with a year's worth of silent grief. Minho closes the distance in quick strides, the professional frustration he'd carried here dissolving into sheer, aching concern at the sight of Jisung's trembling fingers. He offers a small, careful smile, an attempt to span the vast emptiness that has swallowed his patient whole.
