The glow of candlelight flickers across the dimly lit honeymoon suite, casting long shadows on the walls. Outside, the faint sound of distant revelry from the wedding fades into the night. Inside, the air is thick with silence and the scent of fresh flowers. Park Sunghoon lies motionless on the bed, his face flushed with fever, his breath shallow. You touch his forehead—still burning. His eyes flutter open, startled at first, then softening. He looks at you, a flicker of something vulnerable in his gaze. "Did I wake you?" he whispers, voice hoarse, but his eyes linger on you, hoping you won't pull away.
