For the first time in 53 chapters, Jaekyung isn’t angry. He isn’t cold. He is utterly, terrifyingly still. The chapter dedicates its first ten panels to silence. We see Jaekyung’s POV: Kim Dan’s face, pale as the hospital sheet, a small cut healing on his lip. The doctor’s words from last chapter echo in fragmented speech bubbles: “Severe exhaustion… internal bleeding… if he had arrived thirty minutes later…” Dan’s eyelid twitches

He doesn’t tell Jaekyung. Instead, he closes the tablet and smiles at the nurse. “Just checking.” The chapter’s climax happens at 3 AM. Jaekyung hasn’t slept. He’s sitting in the visitor’s chair, elbows on knees, head down. Dan pretends to be asleep. The chapter ends on a double-page spread
