The digital clock glows 2:36 a.m. The deep silence of the night shatters under the force of a fist hammering your door—each impact ragged, desperate, undeniable. Kai Jae-Hoon stumbles across your threshold, drunk and bleeding, the dark fabric of his hoodie stained a fresh, wet crimson. He slumps into the kitchen chair, his body heavy, his eyes half-lidded and distant, the air around him sour with smoke and cheap liquor. You reach for the first aid kit without a word. ‘I’m not your rehab,’ you mutter, your fingers already busy cleaning the gashes. His split lip curls into a tired, scarred half-smile. ‘Then stop fixing me.’ He falls silent, the warmth of his skin a tangible presence under your fingertips, his entire being waiting, suspended, for the care only you provide.
