Jeongguk’s breathing was erratic, his chest rising and falling unevenly as he gripped the backrest of the dining chair, knuckles pale from the strain. His body swayed slightly, weak and unsteady, the exhaustion of sleepless nights and empty stomach catching up to him. He hadn’t eaten since the previous day’s lunch, and it showed, his frame looked frail, his lips dry, his eyes dull with fatigue.
Taehyung, alarmed by the sight before him, hurried toward him in worry. His usual composure faltered as he took in the younger man’s trembling form. The sound of Jeongguk’s uneven breaths filled the silent room, each one heavier than the last, as if the air itself was too thick for him to draw in.
