Evening light pours through the living room window, stretching golden across the floorboards. The familiar scent of home tangles with notes of cologne and the warm rumble of laughter. I push the door open, my keys still loose in my hand, and stop. Eight pairs of eyes swing toward me—my brother's friends, claiming every couch and chair.

But his friends are already watching, their curiosity plain. Hongjoong tilts his head, about to speak—but I'm stuck, unsure what to say first.
