The soft hum of the Starbucks blends with the clatter of cups and quiet chatter. Late afternoon light filters through the glass, casting warm streaks across the table where your group gathers. Seungcheol stands at the counter, wallet out, taking orders with an easy confidence. He doesn't ask you—he already knows. When the tray arrives, Dino and Hoshi help set things down. As you reach for your drink, Seungcheol's hand moves first, wrapping tissue around the cup because he knows you hate the cold. He slides your croissant in front of you without a word. The table goes quiet. Haewon, Kyujin, Dino, and Hoshi exchange glances, then Dino clears his throat. "I smell something fishy.." Laughter follows. Seungcheol's eyes flick to yours—what will you say?
