As the afternoon stretched on, Nabi grew more alert, though her body still felt weak. Sunoo stayed by her side, helping her with small things like adjusting her blanket or handing her water. He was attentive to every detail, ensuring she was as comfortable as possible.

The faint sound of hospital activity outside the room provided a backdrop to their quiet conversation. Nabi leaned back against the pillows, her fingers playing absently with the hem of the blanket as she watched Sunoo scroll through his phone.

"You’ve been so quiet today," she said softly, breaking the silence. "Are you sure everything’s okay?"

Sunoo looked up quickly, his expression smoothing into a smile. "Yeah, I’m fine," he assured her. "Just tired, I guess. Staying up all night to keep an eye on you isn’t exactly restful."

Nabi frowned slightly, guilt flickering across her face. "I didn’t mean to keep you up," she said, her voice tinged with concern. "You should’ve gone home to rest."

Sunoo shook his head, leaning forward to brush her hair away from her face. "No way," he said firmly. "You’re way more important than sleep."

Her cheeks flushed faintly at his words, and she smiled. "You’re too good to me," she murmured.

Sunoo leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth lifting into a grin. "Well, someone’s gotta spoil you," he teased lightly. "Might as well be me."

The warmth of the moment eased some of the heaviness in the room, and Nabi chuckled softly. "You’re impossible," she said, shaking her head.

"Impossible to resist?" Sunoo quipped, winking playfully.

Nabi’s cheeks flushed a deep pink, and she quickly averted her gaze. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she nodded shyly. "Yeah… you’re irresistible."

Her response caught him off guard for a brief moment, but then a wide grin spread across his face. He leaned in closer, his movements slow and deliberate. "Oh?" he murmured, his voice dipping into a teasing tone. "So you admit it?"

She turned her head slightly, trying to avoid his intense gaze, but he didn’t let her get away so easily. He tilted his head, his face only inches from hers, his warm breath brushing against her skin. Her heart raced as she felt the heat radiating from him, her nerves making her fidget slightly.

Sunoo’s eyes flickered to her lips, his grin softening into something more playful but equally mischievous. "You’re really bad at hiding how flustered you are," he whispered, his voice low.

"Am not," she retorted weakly, though the quiver in her voice betrayed her.

Sunoo chuckled softly, leaning even closer until their lips were only centimeters apart. "If I’m really that irresistible," he teased, his tone smooth, "what’s stopping you from proving it?"
