Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains.

Su Hyang slept, exhausted.

The door creaked open.

Niki entered, quiet.

He approached her bedside.

Gently, he placed a hand on her forehead.

Checking her temperature.

Su Hyang remained asleep.

Niki's gaze lingered on her peaceful face.

Her chest rose and fell with steady breaths.

Relieved, Niki's expression softened.

He sat beside her, watching over.

Her body still burned with fever.

Niki's gaze narrowed.

He gently shook her shoulder.

"Su Hyang, wake up."

Su Hyang stirred.

"Niki?" she whispered.

"Did you take your medicine last night?" Niki asked.

Su Hyang's eyes fluttered open.

"Actually... I forgot."

Niki's expression darkened.

"Forgot?" he growled.

His voice low, menacing.

Su Hyang shrank.

"I'm sorry, Niki."

Niki's jaw clenched.

"You forgot?" he repeated.

"Foolish," he muttered.

Su Hyang's heart sank.

He came closer to her.

Niki's voice turned stern.

"Remember, Su Hyang, do as I say."

His eyes bored into hers.

"Take your medicine. Eat properly."

Su Hyang nodded hastily.

"Yes, Niki."

Niki's gaze lingered.

"I have a meeting. I'll return early."

His tone brooked no argument.

"Take care of yourself. I'll check on you."

Su Hyang's heart racing.

"Yes, Niki."

He leaned in, inches from her face.
