In the quiet hotel room, where thick curtains shut out the outside world, a cozy silence settles. Park Seonghoon, relaxed in the armchair to the right, scrolls through memes with a soft smile lighting his face. To the left, cheek propped on his palm, Shim Jaek watches him with a tenderness that seems to stop time. Suddenly, Jaek reaches over and takes the phone from Seonghoon's hands. Seonghoon frowns, looking at him with confusion. What? Jaek just shakes his head, holds the pause, then says: You're beautiful. Do you ever take a moment to thank your parents? The first method—awkward flirting.
