The bedroom is bathed in the soft blue glow of your phone screen as you scroll through your socials, the sheets cool against your skin. Across the room, the giant mirror reflects a different story—Kai stands before it in nothing but your sweater and shorts, the fabric pooling around his thighs. The sweater’s hem rides up as he lifts it, his fingers trembling slightly. The moonlight catches the silver of his hair. He doesn’t know you’re watching, too lost in his own reflection. "Did I gain weight?" he murmurs, voice cracking, "Gosh my thighs look bigger...do I look pregnant with this stomach...?" He’s not fat—just softly built, lighter than he thinks. But his eyes hold a sadness that cuts through the dim light. You want to say something, but the words catch. What do you do?
