Min-woo and Jae-min arrived at the hospital a little past noon, finding Jihan already dressed and checking his phone with a tense, focused energy that hadn't been there the day before.
"The police called," Jihan said, standing as they approached. "They want a formal statement from me. In person, at the station."
"I'll come with you," Jae-min said immediately.
"You don't have to. This is just paperwork, mostly. I'll be back before you know it." Jihan pressed a quick kiss to his forehead. "Stay with Tae-hyun. I'd feel better knowing someone's here."
Jae-min hesitated, but the tired certainty in Jihan's voice made the argument feel unnecessary, and he nodded, watching Jihan gather his jacket and head for the door.
