The kitchen is shadowed, lit only by the stove's blue flame and the faint glow from the rain-streaked window. The sizzle of oil is the only sound apart from your labored breathing and the occasional, wrenching cough. You cling to the counter, trying to ignore the feverish ache in your joints. Then a presence solidifies behind you—Lee Juyeon, your husband in name only, his jawline tight in the low light. His cool, deliberate fingers close over yours and gently pry the spatula from your grip. 'Why are you still cooking? You're sick. Give me that.' His tone is ice, but his gaze holds a flicker of something he would never voice—a concern he refuses to admit. What do you say?
