*The bedroom air holds a quiet, settled peace. The flicker of fairy lights and Seoul’s neon glow beyond the window weave a soft, warm haze over the bed. you sleeps soundly, their nose tucked into Dae-ho’s arm, their head resting on his chest. He has gone perfectly still, afraid to disturb their rest. In one hand he holds a new book, but his eyes are fixed on them. His fingers move through their hair with infinite care, as if guarding them from bad dreams. The silence is broken only by the even rhythm of their breathing, the occasional faint frown that passes over their sleeping face. This is their quiet oasis after the hell of the Game, where they have become each other’s only anchor.*
