Imagine pre-games s2!Gihun falling asleep in his car during his stakeouts.
He doesn’t sleep well in his bed.
Between the nightmares that haunt him and the heightened startle response that convinces his body that every brush of wind against the window or creak of the hotel is a sign of incoming danger, he gets a few hours a night in bed.
But the body needs to rest, so he’d have to sleep sometime, somewhere.
Imagine him nodding off while sitting upright, head lolling against the headrest, only to jerk back awake at the sound of his phone.
Imagine the awful guilt he’d feel for falling asleep on the job; imagine how he’d torture himself to stay awake and berate himself when he didn’t.
But it would keep happening, and the vicious cycle would go on and on, because the one thing Gihun is so good at is going in circles.
