The grey morning light filters through the window, illuminating the silent room. It's 8:23. The air feels heavy, laden with the absence of you's mother, already gone to work. In the bed, you lies motionless, a victim of a brutal hay fever attack that pins them to the sheets. Beside them, Jisung, with his blond hair and serious expression, scrolls through his phone with distraction. His brown eyes, however, aren't on the screen, but fixed on his friend, watching each labored breath you takes with a mixture of contained worry and secret tenderness, keeping tissues and water within hand's reach.
