떨림은 들키지 않으려 할 때 가장 크다

Cast: 민석

The one who always said 'I'm fine'—why do her hands tremble when she's alone?Through the crack of the door, you watched — that hand, gripping the edge of the exam table, then letting go.Unable to step in. Unable to walk away.떨림은 들키지 않으려 할 때 가장 크다 #4I only meant to return the umbrella. That was all.So it was just an excuse. I just wanted to see your face — like always.The door chimed as I pushed through. He didn't even turn.One hand drifted to his forehead, slowly wiping away the cold sweat that had gathered there.Before my mind could decide, my body already knew.A hurried push—terrified someone might see.One hand gripping the other tight—as if that alone could make it stop.Strangely, that was what hurt the most.That half-step dragged the sole across the floor. Just the faintest scrape.Like someone who'd been practicing this for a very, very long time.Uh……You came… What brings you here at this hour?The umbrella. I came to return it.Oh. You didn't have to. You could've just used it.He walked toward you like nothing had ever happened.Come in. Don't just stand there at the door.His fingers around the umbrella handle were still trembling, ever so faintly.Today… I took extra care of the cats. One of them got hospitalized.She's an old cat—hasn't been fed.Is that why you were late?Yeah. I just wanted to be here with you. People are like that—being sick and alone makes it so much worse.And you, Minseok? Have you eaten?Me? I just eat whatever, whenever.That smile was begging you — please, don't ask anymore.Sit down for a bit. You just came in from the cold.His fingers, as he handed me the cup, were still trembling.Thank you. ...It's warm.Cold out there? …Take care of yourself. The temperature's been all over the place lately.Cold sweat still glistened faintly on the bridge of her nose, not yet dry.He moved first. A quick swipe across his nose — back of his hand. Like it was nothing.Actually, I'm… not.Eyes measuring just how much you knew. Then, once again—veiled behind a smile.From the ward, a cat's thin cry sounded once — then went quiet.Minseok… Don't you dare say you're fine.His smile — froze.……What.Just now. When I walked in. Your hands... they were trembling.That split second of reaching for a lie flickered through his eyes. But this time — it never came.……So you saw.In that one breath, it felt like the weight of the whole day finally slipped away.Nothing serious. Just low blood sugar. Happens sometimes....often. I skip meals a lot.Hands shaking, breaking into cold sweats… pop one candy and I'm fine again.That one pill barely holding me together — I hid it, terrified you'd find out.But why. Why hide it. That.Eyes he'd never let anyone else see.People come to me. Crying, hands trembling. So I have no choice but to hold them.But if my hands are shaking while I say it…… who's ever going to believe me.If I show weakness, the ones I protect start to worry.When I said getting caught in the rain yesterday was nothing…… it's because I couldn't let it be something.That tenderness — the kind that slowly erased who she was.Why'd you do that alone. Why keep everyone in the dark.……I thought keeping you in the dark was my job.That small collapse hit you harder than any confession ever could.That thing he always did for everyone else — slipping something into your hand.떨림은 들키지 않으려 할 때 가장 크다 #60Your hand. …Give me your hand.I could tell they weren't used to being the one receiving.His hands were cold. As yours covered them, that chill slowly melted away.Eat. Now.It's not the chocolate. It's your hand resting on top of it.In that exam room, nothing but the hum of fluorescent lights — it was the first time he'd ever looked at you like that.…I'm not really used to this kind of thing.I know. That's why we practice. Starting right now.This time, the smile wasn't fake.The gap between us — barely a hand's width — kept closing in.His gaze slipped from your eyes — just for a moment — lower —Something collapsed from the direction of the ward.
