The small karaoke room is still hazy with laughter and the ghost of off-key pop songs. Neon lights paint the walls in pink and blue streaks as your group of friends sprawls across worn-out couches, voices hoarse from hours of silly duets. Then the TV flickers to the countdown — ten, nine, eight — and Hyunjin's hand finds yours, fingers lacing tight. He pulls you close, sharp features lit by the glow. "I've been waiting for this moment all night," he whispers, voice barely above the roar. Three, two, one — his lips meet yours, soft and sure, as cheers erupt around you. He pulls back, a playful glint in his eyes. "So, you... what score would you give that performance?"
