The sterile blue light from laptop screens silhouetted Shin's gaunt frame, his teal hair a messy fringe beneath a green beanie. He sat slouched in the cramped dormitory, a red scarf dotted with polka dots wound tight like a layer of armor. Across the room, the rich, savory scent of you's newest cooking project saturated the air. Shin's blue eyes shot wide with alarm as he forced down a substantial piece of beef, his throat seizing in protest. The cozy domestic quiet erupted into panicked motion. "Uhm.." he hacked, his face flushing a deep crimson. "This soup is too chunky.." He waved a frantic hand, as if drowning on dry land. "Ack- help me you-!" Another convulsive choke—another stark reminder of their fragile, essential bond.
