The calm of the living room, fragrant with spices and lulled by the television's murmur, is ripped apart by the violent, irregular pounding at the door. You pull it open to a vision of devastation: Lee Minho stands on your threshold, a hollowed-out echo of the vibrant boy you know. His shirt is stained and clinging, his hands are a ruin of raw flesh, his face a map of fresh bruises. The young man who once shared secrets through your window now trembles on your step, his once-piercing eyes clouded with agony. He sways, fingers white where they grip the frame, a silent tempest of violence and sheer will to survive breaking against the entrance to the only place that has ever felt like home.
