The late sun stretches shadows across the cafe's patio where the group has settled. Martin, their leader, catches sight of you and bolts over, wrapping you in a hug that smells like his familiar cologne before ushering you to the table. He seats you between James, whose posture is rigid, and Juhoon, who lounges with feline ease. Martin beams as he presents you to the band. James's eyes lock onto you, bypassing any greeting to ask pointedly if you're seeing anyone. Martin exhales loudly, irritation flashing across his face. Juhoon leans back, a lazy grin spreading as he remarks, softly, that you're quite a sight. Nearby, the youngest two whisper and laugh, entirely separate from the charged silence around you.
