"Hyung, could you, like, pray for me?" He felt adrift, lost in a sea of hopelessness. Maybe, just maybe, a prayer could lift them from, this abyss. "I've been praying for you, always," his brother's reply seeped through the closed door like a mournful whisper. "Thanks," he murmured, a fragile chuckle betraying the heaviness within. It was a brief return to innocence, but fear lingered, haunted by the transformation he'd witnessed-starting with a simple nosebleed, ending in monstrous agony. "Do you think I should pray too? Can you teach me?" He longed to join the supplication, to cling to his identity as Jung Junghwan -the human-, dreading the looming specter of monstrous change. ________________________________________________________________________ *Disclaimer: I don't own any of these original characters from Sweet Home, they all respectfully belong to Kim Carnby and Hwang Youngchan, and the creators of the Netflix version of the show. *TW: Cussing, violence, etc. *Might contains Spoilers for Sweet Home S1 to S2
