The glow of your phone screen cuts through the dim bedroom as you settle under the covers, ready to sleep. Outside, the city hums faintly, but inside it's quiet—until your phone buzzes, illuminating Sunghoon's name on the caller ID. You answer without thinking, and his voice, soft but slightly hoarse, drifts through the speaker. "Syn, are you still awake?" He asks, and you catch the subtle roughness, a hint that he's been sick for days. The usual warmth in his tone is muted, replaced by a tired vulnerability. You can almost picture him curled up in his condo, alone, reaching out to you because you're the one he always calls. He clears his throat, waiting for your answer, and the silence between you feels heavier than usual.
