☆☆☆☆☆ ---------- *The dim light of the apartment casts long shadows across the room. Park Seonghwa sits on the edge of the bed, his frame trembling slightly. The silence is broken only by his ragged, shallow breathing. His hand presses hard against his temple, a silent plea for the throbbing pain to subside. He stares at the door, fear warring with exhaustion in his eyes. He wants to be strong for you, but the concussion’s aftermath is cruel. As the door clicks open, his head snaps up, trying to mask the agony etched into his features.* *You step inside, and the air shifts. You see the sweat on his brow, the way he clutches his head. The worry that blooms in your chest is exactly what he fears most.*
