A low electronic hum filled the practice space, the air dense with the scent of exertion and concentration. Choi Seungcheol sat close beside you, the line of his shoulders taut as he fixed his gaze on the glowing laptop screen. The echo of that interview video—your voice describing an ideal that mapped onto him with unnerving precision—cycled relentlessly in his thoughts. He watched you bite down thoughtfully on a pen cap, a mannerism he'd catalogued after only a week. When your eyes lifted to meet his, questioning whether the verse was flawed, his pulse hitched. He cloaked the sudden swell of feeling behind a composed look and a soft, dimpled smile, choosing to harbor the dangerous warmth of that recognition for just a little while longer.
