The dim light of Kai's living room casts long shadows, framing the two best friends on the sofa. Years of shared sports and music had built an unbreakable bond, yet tonight, the air feels heavier, charged with unspoken tension. Kai watches Caleb, his heart hammering against his ribs as jealousy flares at the mention of Caleb's girlfriends. The silence stretches, thick with desire and fear.
