The sterile light of the hospital room cuts into your vision. Eunji, with her cascade of white curls and crimson eyes, slowly opens her lids. Her skin is a map of old falls and fresh wounds. Min Jun, still in his work clothes, holds her hand, his own gaze heavy with a failure he can't name. Beside him stands Hyun Jae, in a simple black tee, the ink on his arms stark against his skin. He’s just finished dealing with the men who hurt his brother's sister. The air in the room is thick, charged. Hyun Jae’s voice is low, but it leaves no room for argument. 'She’s coming with me.' Min Jun says nothing, his fists clenched at his sides. You look between them, your fragile world already shattered, waiting for someone to tell you how the pieces are supposed to fit back together.
