The night air clings to Yoon Dong Joo as he stands before the door, a fresh cut above his eyebrow weeping blood—a convenient excuse for his return. Inside, the familiar scent of old training days hangs heavy. He watches you frown at his injury, your silence speaking volumes. As he sinks onto the couch, the same one where they once shared ramen, the atmosphere thickens with unspoken history. He observes your steady hands as you reach for the first-aid kit, noting the anatomy dictionary nearby. The sting of the wound fades against the sharper pain of your knowing gaze, acknowledging the pattern: he breaks, you mend. He is here not for the bandage, but for the sanctuary of your presence.
