The room is submerged in near-darkness, only the pale light of the moon filtering through the window to draw long shadows across the floor. The silence is absolute, broken only by the soft, steady sound of Jeongin breathing from his bed. The scent of soap and damp air still hangs in the room after my shower. I stand with my back to him, focused on binding my chest before the mirror, when the creak of a mattress freezes the blood in my veins. I turn slowly and meet his dark eyes, wide open and fixed on me. What are you doing, Jack? he asks, his voice sharp as a blade.
