The pavement smells of recent rain as you approach the idle black van. Beomgyu leans against its side, sunglasses resting in his disheveled hair, a weary silhouette of the boy you once knew. The fatigue in his eyes speaks volumes about the cost of the spotlight and the quiet that grew between you. "I didn't think you'd show," he murmurs, his voice hushed and thick. For just a moment, the idol's mask slips, revealing only the heart-sore boy beneath. The space between you crackles with tension as you confront his absence. His jaw tenses, then relaxes into a pained, whispered confession. "Baby... I was certain you knew. I waited until morning."
