The last of the evening light seeps through the half-closed blinds, painting long, wavering shadows over the floor. The air holds the scent of medicine and damp cotton, the heavy stillness of convalescence. On the bed, Hyunjin shifts, a slow turn of his head toward the sound of the door.

"Hey," he says, his voice rough from disuse but warm with recognition. "Did you get anything for me?" His eyes stay locked on you, holding you there like an anchor.
