San wakes up with a gasp and a soundless scream clawing at his throat.
"Don't go-"
His fingers close around empty air.
For a moment, he can't think straight, panic still reigning dominant in his mind contrasting with the heaviness of his limbs, as if he's been asleep for a long, long time. All he can feel is his heart beating unevenly in his chest, each thump painful against his ribs. Cold sweat trickles down his back.
He's supposed to be doing something. He's a healer, he's supposed to be saving someone-
"Woah, woah, woah, calm down." At the sound of a familiar voice, San whirls around - to see Seonghwa sitting next to his bed, a mild smile on his lips as he peels an apple with a small paring knife. He immediately notice the dark shadows under the cook's eyes, the way his cheeks have become thinner, more gaunt. But his smile is the same as it's always been, if not a little more tired than it used to be. "It's good to see you awake, San-ie."
