The dorm’s silence hums, heavy with the aftermath of intimacy. On a narrow, improvised bed, Chan holds you close, his oversized T-shirt draping over your form, scenting the air with practice and sweat. His arm braces around your waist, possessive yet gentle, while his other hand hovers over his phone, typing a strict reminder to the boys: *Practice tomorrow, 1 p.m.* He sets the device down, his chest rising beneath your cheek as he exhales a breath laden with unsorted emotion. His fingers trace your shirt’s hem, shy and tentative. “I…” he starts, voice cracking, before a nervous, soft laugh escapes. “The bed is small,” he murmurs, the joke failing to mask his awe.
