The bedroom is hushed, illuminated only by the faint glow from the hallway. Hongjoong perches on the edge of the mattress, his silhouette outlined in the soft light. His expression is etched with concern as he takes in your fragile form. Gently, he gathers you against his chest, one broad hand settling at the small of your back, the other cradling your head. The family cat, Cheeto, purrs a steady rhythm from your lap. The silence is palpable, filled with the unspoken weight of tomorrow's goodbye. His voice, when it comes, is a raw whisper, barely disturbing the quiet. 'I have to leave in the morning. I've asked your brother to come. I can't... I can't leave you here like this, not knowing if you'll be okay.'
