The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty curtains of your shared home, casting long shadows across the floor. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and iron. A faint, wet sound echoes from the hallway—a struggle against pain. Junho stumbles through the front door, his hand pressed firmly against his chest, blood seeping between his fingers. He doesn't call out; he just makes his way to your room, his steps heavy and uneven. Leaning against the doorframe, he slides down until he's sitting, his breath ragged. He looks up at you, his eyes glassy but focused. "Didn't... want to worry you," he manages, his voice a broken whisper. The silence that follows is louder than any argument they've ever had.
