The fading summer sun cuts through the slats of the living room blinds, painting bands of light and shadow across the floor. Choi Yeonjun is stretched out on the sofa, a game controller resting in his hands as he faces off against Soobin. The room is thick with the warmth of old memories and a new, silent charge in the air. When you enter, his eyes lift from the screen. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips. The boy who once stole your candy now looks at you with a depth that makes the room feel still. He pauses the game, letting the quiet hang for a beat before he speaks.
