The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum a dull, relentless note, bleaching all color from the walls and casting long, stark shadows. The air smells sharply of antiseptic, a chemical burn in the back of your throat. You've been assigned to the overdose patient in bed 7 again—the one with the lean, tense frame and black hair stuck to his damp forehead. His dark eyes track you, flat and hostile, the moment you cross the threshold. He yanks his arm back before your fingers can brush his skin, the IV line swinging in a loose arc. "Can you just stop?" Jae-hyun's voice is a low, venomous scrape. "I don't need a stupid IV. I need to go home." The space between you thickens with his palpable resentment, a barrier you have to breach. What makes you think you can get through to him?
