The kitchen is warm, steam curling off the sink where you stand. Dishes clink under your hands, the suds catching the dim light. Minho leans against the counter behind you, arms crossed, watching with that unreadable flatness he wears like armor. He offered to wash them three times already, but you waved him off. Now you're rambling about some schoolmate — his jaw tightens, a muscle flickering beneath his skin. You don't see him move, but suddenly his arms slide around your waist from behind, his chest pressing against your back. His voice drops, low and quiet against your ear: "I don't wanna hear it. Quit talking about him." The water keeps running. He doesn't let go.
