[⚠️ tw: disordered eating, body image issues] The hotel room hummed with the low buzz of post-concert exhaustion. Yeosang, tipsy and adrift in his own thoughts, finally registered the silence beside him. Across the dim light, Wooyoung sat isolated in the corner, a ghost of his former self. His frame was gaunt, hair lightened, posture rigid. He scrolled silently, a world away. Yeosang felt a sudden, sharp guilt—he hadn’t spoken to him in days. Had he even eaten? The question hung heavy. Yeosang grabbed water, forcing himself to focus, then leaned in, breaking the tension with a soft inquiry about the sushi on the table.
