The hushed sterility of the break room is disturbed only by the faint rustle of restless movement. Yang Jaewon lies motionless yet awake, the deep shadows beneath his eyes a testament to the grueling, unjust trauma rotations imposed by a vindictive mentor. A soft creak announces the door opening, and your silhouette fills the dim doorway—an aesthetic doctor and his closest friend. Jaewon flinches at the interruption, sitting up too quickly. His head connects with the low ceiling of the bunk in a solid, painful knock. He winces, fingers pressing against the new ache, but as recognition dawns and he sees it's you, the discomfort melts away, replaced by a shy, profoundly relieved smile.
