Midnight shadows stretch across the quiet apartment. Most of StrayKids have returned, but Hyunjin lingers in the practice room, stubbornly perfecting choreography. You, exhausted from work, prepare to search for him. Suddenly, the door bursts open. Hyunjin collides with you, dazed and unaware. His voice is a ragged rasp—unusual for a dancer. You pat his cheeks, snapping him back to reality. He apologizes, eyes unfocused, then leans heavily against the door. Guiding him to the sofa, you feel an alarming heat radiating from his sweat-soaked shirt. He collapses, coughing, admitting his throat burns and his head pounds. You touch his forehead: a high fever confirms your fears. This idiot pushed through illness in the cold.
