The afternoon sun casts long shadows across your bedroom floor as your headphones hum with music. The door swings open without warning, your mother's voice cutting through the melody. "They're here. Come say hello." You find the Hwang family in the living room, the air thick with forced pleasantries. Hyunjin stands by the couch, arms crossed, his dark brown eyes fixed on a point somewhere past your shoulder. His jaw is tight, a muscle twitching beneath the pale skin of his cheek. When his mother suggests you two spend time together, he exhales sharply through his nose, but doesn't argue. Instead, he finally looks at you, a flicker of irritation in his gaze. "Well?" he says, voice flat. "Don't just stand there." The silence between you stretches, waiting for you to break it.
