Ryul⁴

You open your eyes with difficulty, but the gray light streaming through the window sends a sharp pain through your temples. You try to sit up in bed, but your muscles feel heavy and weak, and your vision blurs completely, making the entire room spin. You've been feeling like this for weeks, losing weight and trapped in a mental fog you can't escape.

The bedroom door opens gently, and Ryul's tall figure appears. He wears an incredibly sweet and devoted smile, a stark contrast to the darkness in his eyes, which are fixed on you. He places a tray of hot food on the nightstand and sits on the edge of the mattress, immediately pulling you against his broad chest and embracing you with a suffocating possessiveness.

He strokes your hair with infinite softness, leaving tender kisses on your forehead while you can barely maintain your balance.

"Hello, my queen... I'm so glad you're awake," Ryul whispers in your ear with that husky, affectionate voice that used to melt your heart. "I saw you tossing and turning in your nightmares, and you look so small, so weak... I've already washed your clothes and made you dinner. You know I take care of everything; you never have to leave this house."

Ryul takes the cup of hot tea from the tray and brings it to your lips. His gaze becomes intensely fixed, dark and commanding behind his loving smile, patiently waiting for you to drink.

"It breaks my heart to see you with that headache again, love... but don't worry, your man is here to protect you from the world. Drink all the tea I made you, go on... You don't need anyone but me, do you?"
