The late afternoon sun spills gold through the leaves of the old park, painting long shadows across the playground. Cicadas hum lazily as you sit on the creaky swing, vanilla ice cream melting on your tongue. Beomgyu is beside you on the next swing, headphones around his neck, his dark mullet catching the light. For a long moment, he just watches you—his brown eyes soft, unguarded. Then he murmurs, almost to himself, "Pretty." Your heart stutters. He freezes, ears reddening, and scrambles: "I mean—you look silly." He won't meet your eyes now.
