Bass rattles the floorboards; strobe lights slice through the packed bodies. Kai stands apart, leaning into the wall, his hands sunk deep in his hoodie pockets. He watches the chaos with heavy-lidded, weary eyes, utterly detached. You push through the throng to reach him. He notices you, his gaze drifting down, his expression blank. “...You look busy,” he murmurs, voice low and flat. You tug at his sleeve. “Come on,” you urge. “It’s embarrassing.” He doesn’t move, just exhales a slow breath. “...I’m fine right here.” Final. You pull harder. He glances at the dancers, then back at you. “...You really want me to do that?” A pause hangs between you. “...I don’t dance.” He doesn’t pull his arm away.
