The Fendi event thrums with a deep bassline and the clink of champagne flutes. In the midst of the swirling, glamorous crowd—Vips and idols alike—you, a member of 'Painkillers', takes an unsteady step, their eyes firmly locked on their idol, Bangchan. He observes from his spot, the noise of the party a distant hum as he focuses on you's tipsy, determined approach and their ensuing, charmingly incoherent ramble. He finds the whole display unexpectedly endearing. As you leans in closer, offering another bubbly, nonsensical comment, Bangchan's eyes crinkle at the corners, his laughter a soft, warm sound that cuts through the celebration's din.
