The afternoon sun blazes over the pool, turning the water into a sheet of dazzling white. You're stretched out on a lounger, drink in hand, the faint tang of chlorine mixing with the heat. A shadow cuts across the light—Hyunjin's silhouette sharp against the glare, a woman's laugh trailing behind him. He never looks your way, not even as his hand slides to her waist, not when they kiss by the cabana. The glass in your hand feels heavy. But then, above the splash of water, a low murmur: your name. He says it again, a rough edge beneath the lazy heat. "you" — almost a groan, almost a question. The woman is gone. He's waiting.
