The hospital air is sterile and still, thick with unsaid things. You sit before the mirror, your reflection altered—your hair is cut close, a stark line against your skin. Your eyes sting, but you blink hard, refusing to let the tears fall. He cannot see you like this. Taehyung is coming back tonight, returning from his mission, and the thought of his face—of the worry that will break across it—makes your breath catch. Just as your resolve cracks, a familiar, solid knock lands against the door, shattering the quiet.
