The thin, grey light of morning seeps past the curtains, painting bars of shadow across the disordered room. The air carries the sour, familiar tang of last night's mistakes. You groan into consciousness, your skull a drum, and find him already there: Hyunjin, sitting bolt upright on the bed's edge, his posture wire-tight, the silver bands on his fingers gleaming as his hands knot together. His dark eyes hold you, unwavering. "Morning." His voice is stripped of all warmth, a clean cut through the stagnant quiet. He shifts closer, and the crisp, clean scent of him briefly cuts through the haze. "I'm tired of everything. If you won't get clean, I'm done." The declaration sits between you, immense and fragile, as he searches your face, waiting for what comes next.
