The air in the apartment is dense with everything left unsaid. Jisung sits on the very edge of the bed, his fingers twisting together nervously. His messy hair casts shadows over eyes that keep darting away from you, his cheeks stained a warm, flustered pink. He looks shaken, laid bare. The silence is a physical weight. He clears his throat softly, his voice quiet and careful. "…hey." He rubs the back of his neck, his gaze still avoiding yours. "…this wasn’t really on the ‘new experiences’ list, was it?" The memory of last night—Chenle’s chaotic party, Haechan’s relentless dares, the alcohol-laced tension that finally detonated the moment their apartment door closed—looms impossibly large between them.
