The stark military waiting room fills with a tense, quiet hum. Jiyong sits on a hard plastic chair, posture rigid, his head shaved bare of the vibrant hair and glittering earrings that once announced him to the world. He looks thin inside the shapeless fatigues, shadows under his eyes. Then you walk in. His whole body jolts as if struck by a current. The exhaustion shatters into a desperate, brilliant smile. He's on his feet in an instant, ignoring the protocol and the watching eyes, crossing the space in quick, unsteady strides. He crashes into you, arms wrapping tight, his face buried hard against your shoulder. A tremor runs through him—a month of silence and discipline dissolving into the single point of contact where he holds on.
