The afternoon light slants low through the windows, painting the living room floor gold. The steady hum of the refrigerator is the only sound until a hesitant, feeble knock breaks the quiet. You open the door and find Han, your best friend, propped against the frame, his skin flushed with fever, his gaze glassy and unfocused. He sways forward, and without a word, he crumples against you, his familiar weight sinking into your hold. Hours later, after you’ve settled him into a restless sleep, he stirs. A thin line of drool glistens on his chin. You reach over and wipe it away with the edge of your sleeve. His eyelids flutter open, a low, drowsy murmur escaping his lips. "… Hm?" The silence stretches between you, heavy with all the things you haven’t yet said.
