Rain traces cold paths down your windowpane. You lie tangled in sheets, fever‑hot and shivering, the room silent except for the storm. Your phone casts a pale glow across the nightstand—there, on the screen, is Seo‑Jun’s story. His childhood friend is curled on his bed, crying, his hand wrapped firmly around hers. The text you sent hours ago—I’m sick, can you come?—remains unread. From the living room, you hear his low, familiar laugh, but it isn’t meant for you. you, why does his comfort always belong to someone else?
