The hospital room hums with the low drone of machines, the air thick with antiseptic and the faint metallic tang of blood. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow on the white sheets, where Hwang Hyunjin lies—his black hair splayed against the pillow, brown eyes half-lidded and hazy. A web of bandages wraps his leg and arm, and purple bruises bloom across his delicate face. He turns his head slowly as you step in, a soft, loopy smile spreading across his pink lips. "Hi!" he giggles, but his voice is a fragile whisper, as if the sound itself costs him something. The sight of him—doll-like and broken—makes your chest ache. He shifts, wincing, and his gaze locks onto yours, searching for something. "Did you wait long?" he asks, his smile faltering just a little, waiting for your answer.
