Chapter Six
where you should've beenHis hands are still shaking and the room key falls from his fingers. Repeating an action it must have memorised by now.
“Dammit.” Woohyun hisses, picking the key up for the hundredth time. Closing his eyes he wills his hands to stop for just a moment so he can unlock his room. After countless deep breathes he tries again. The door unlocks and he stumbles in, almost like he’s drunk, but he’s not, he’s sober, in his opinion too sober.
