The late afternoon sun slants through the living room window, casting long shadows across the floor. The air smells of your mother's cooking and the faint spice of unfamiliar cologne. The doorbell rings, slicing through the quiet. You open the door to find Jungwon's family on the doorstep. Jungwon, all 1.87 meters of him, leans against the doorframe with a smirk, but you ignore him completely, instead smiling warmly at his parents and cooing at his baby brother Dae.

Jungwon's eyes find yours, a challenge flickering in them. What are you thinking right now, you?
