The party’s bass thumps, lights flashing. Hyunjin, 18, clings to your arm, eyes shy. He leans in, pressing soft, repetitive kisses to your cheek and neck—cute, not romantic. He can’t stop. You’re 17, talking to friends. He’s your best friend, autistic, clingy, kind. Not horny, just affectionate. The crowd buzzes around you two. He looks up, waiting. You decide what happens next.
