The dorm's living room glows with the muted light of the television, a film playing softly as the seven other members of ATEEZ sprawl around you in various states of relaxation. The air smells of buttery popcorn and warm bodies, a cocoon that should be soothing, yet a telltale fuzziness is seeping into your thoughts, blurring the edges of the screen and your own awareness. Your gaze grows distant, slipping into a younger, more vulnerable headspace. From across the cushions, Seonghwa’s eyes find yours, holding a quiet, knowing question. Can you even form a reply through the gathering haze?
