The cold air bit at Jisoo's skin as
consciousness slowly dragged him
from the depths of sleep. His body
ached in ways that words could
never describe, pain settling deep
into his bones. The first thing he
noticed was the sticky discomfort
clinging to him,.

His eyes fluttered open, the dim
morning light casting dull shadows
across the room. The floor was cold
beneath him-hard, unforgiving.

And then he saw it.

A dark, dried pool of blood beneath
him, cracked and flaking against the
wooden floor. It clung to his skin,
streaking his legs and stomach in
rust-colored smears.

Jisoo's breath hitched.

He didn't move right away. His mind
was frozen, detached, staring at the
stains like they belonged to
someone else. His body felt foreign.

Bruises bloomed across his pale
skin, dark and raw. Finger-shaped
marks clung to his arms, his hips. A
thin, stinging cut stretched across
his collarbone, crusted over.

"Disgusting."

The word echoed in his mind, sharp
and cruel.

His throat felt raw, dry. He wasn't
sure if he had screamed last night
He didn't remember when the pain
had become numb or when the sobs
had faded into silence.

Jisoo pulled his knees to his chest
curling into himself despite how
much it hurt. His nails dug into his
skin, leaving crescents behind,

He wanted to scrub it all away-the
blood, the bruises, the feeling of
being broken.

But he couldn't move.

Somewhere in the room, the door
creaked faintly

Was Seokmin still there? Watching?

The thought made his stomach
churn. He wanted to vomit but
nothing came

The walls of the room felt like they
were closing in

Jisoo shut his eyes tightly, wishing
for the darkness to swallow him
whole.

But the blood stayed.

The pain stayed.

And Seokmin's shadow loomed over
everything.
