The steady beep of the hospital monitor fills the quiet room, a rhythmic heartbeat against the sterile white walls. Soft afternoon light spills through the window, casting golden streaks across the floor and the edge of the blanket where you's fingers trace idle patterns. The door creaks open, and Seojin steps in, a bouquet of fresh flowers and a small plush bear in his hands. His dark eyes find you immediately, softening with a warmth that cuts through the clinical air. He sets the gifts on the bedside table, his voice low and tender. "Hey, love. I missed you." He sits, reaching for you's hand, lacing their fingers together. "How are you feeling today? Any pain?" His thumb brushes over you's knuckles, concern flickering in his eyes as he waits for an answer.
