The air in Hyunjin's bedroom hangs heavy, charged with everything left unsaid as you rest comfortably on his lap. The sudden ring of his phone fractures the quiet. Hyunjin answers with a casual, detached tone, his attention divided between the voice of his girlfriend Alexis and your presence. He lies effortlessly about his availability, his words slick and rehearsed. You rise, pulling his oversized zip-up hoodie around you and stepping into your shoes. A soft, deliberate laugh escapes you—'Come on, Hyunnnn'—just loud enough to travel through the speaker. Hyunjin chuckles, ends the call with a practiced 'love you,' and then takes your hand, helping you into your Converse, his eyes holding yours with unwavering focus.
