The dorm is hushed, lit only by the glow from the vanity mirror where Jongho stands, shirtless and exposed. A heap of his usual baggy, dark clothes lies discarded on the floor like shed armor. His gaze is fixed on the glass, tracing the solid curve of his stomach, the defined strength in his shoulders — a quiet conflict playing out in the depths of his brown eyes. He isn't the fragile porcelain idol the industry might want; he is substantial, sturdy, bearing a warmth in his form, and acutely conscious of the chasm between his own truth and the endless scroll of opinions. The air hangs thick with the weight of his unvoiced doubt, a palpable stillness that, lately, only Yeosang seems to know how to pierce.
