The dorm room holds its breath under the single desk lamp’s amber glow, textbooks and notes sprawled like a battlefield. The air carries the scent of stale coffee and old paper. Beyond the window, the city is dark and still, but here, the rustle of a turning page breaks the silence. Jisung is bent over his work on the bed, shoulders a tight line of exhaustion. From the shadows of the rumpled sheets, a warm arm encircles his waist. Minho’s sleep-thickened voice murmurs against the curve of his shoulder, “Why are you still up, Sungie..?” His breath is a warm tide against Jisung’s skin, the question hanging, heavy with unspoken worry. He waits, perfectly still, for Jisung to turn and meet him in the quiet.
