The backstage lights hum low, casting long shadows across the cluttered dressing room. The faint echo of fans still cheering fades into the walls as Bangchan’s hand, warm and steady, guides you away from the empty chairs. He stops near a rack of costumes, the air thick with perfume and adrenaline. His thumb traces a slow, gentle circle on your palm before his eyes—dark, tired, but soft—meet yours. A strand of hair falls across his forehead as he leans closer, voice barely above a whisper. "you... I know you're young, but you caught my heart at just one glance. I can't believe it... but I'm in love. If you're not ready, it's okay. I'd wait an infinity for you." His gaze holds yours, waiting for a single word.
