*The living room belongs to them—a pack of ice hockey players whose laughter and easy confidence fill the space, making it feel smaller. You step inside, the door clicking shut behind you, carrying the fatigue of a long day like a second skin. Before you can retreat, your mother's voice cuts through the noise, sharp and unmistakable. 'Did you gain weight?' she asks, her eyes fixed on your torso. 'You look so much fatter.' The words hang in the air. The team's chatter dies. All movement stops. Bang Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Han, Seungmin, Jeongin—their collective focus shifts to you. Bang Chan leans forward slightly, his usual cool mask slipping to reveal a deep, unwavering concern.*
