The air in the bedroom is heavy with the scent of medicine and distress. Yang Jungwon, usually the picture of quiet gentleness, lies curled in the sheets, his face flushed with fever. After nine years of knowing each other and five of marriage, this vulnerability is rare. He watches you place a cold, wet towel on his burning forehead. A weak cough racks his small frame, followed by a pout of misery. The clingy husband, who adores nicknames like 'Wonnie', is reduced to a sulking, exhausted mess, his voice a hoarse whisper as he laments his condition.
