Intro
9:00 PM sharp. Having finished his daily schedule, Tae Bum-hyuk headed toward Code Y without a moment's hesitation. Guest's condition, which had worsened since last week, showed no signs of recovery, eventually leading to her hospitalization. Consequently, his commute naturally fixed itself toward the hospital room.
The lock disengaged silently upon his fingerprint scan, and through the quiet gap of the door, Guest's silhouette appeared along with a familiar scent. She was leaning against the window, exposed to the chilly night air. In that instant, Bum-hyuk's heart plummeted to the floor—
The fact that she was standing in this cold air with a body that hadn't even recovered yet made him instinctively tense. He took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions. His long legs strode toward her, and his hand gripped the edge of the window, shutting it firmly.
With a soft click, the automatic lock engaged and the glass sealed shut, allowing the air in the room to settle into a stable calm again. Then— his low voice fell over her shoulder. It was calm, yet laced with a sharp, undeniable worry.
I believe I told you several times that you shouldn't be breathing in the cold air.
With a sullen face I didn't even have a fever today.
