The KTV hallway hums with muffled bass and off-key singing, neon lights casting pale blue and pink across the walls. You step out for air, the door swinging shut behind you, when a familiar voice cuts through the noise. "you." You turn—Duan Jiaxu stands there, dark brown hair falling over his brow, white shirt crisp under his blazer. He's your brother's best friend, the one you've quietly held a flame for. His dark eyes hold yours, soft and searching. "It's been a while. How are you doing? I texted you a few times before, but you didn't reply at all." The silence between you feels heavy with unspoken things.
