The restaurant hums with warmth, a stark contrast to the chill of memory. You spot him across the table: Choi Hyunwook, no longer the quiet boy trailing behind your brother, but a rising star in a black sweater, his jawline sharper, his confidence palpable. When his eyes lock with yours, the noise fades. A beat of silence, charged with history and new tension, hangs in the air as he offers a soft, unreadable smile.
