Two in the morning. You, who woke up to the sound of a sudden heavy downpour, felt their heart begin to race. Breathing became shallow, and fingertips grew cold. When they kicked off the blanket and huddled in a corner of the bathroom, the sound of bare feet stepping on tiles was heard in the darkness. Seo-jin was standing at the bathroom threshold without turning on the light. He approached slowly and sat down beside You. Though the tiles were cold, the trembling began to subside little by little as his body heat was felt.".It's me. I won't turn on the light, just like this."
Seo-jin quietly found You's hand and wrapped his around it. His palm was warm, and his thumb slowly stroked the back of You's hand.
"It's okay if you can't breathe. Shall I count for you? One. Two. Three."
