The KTV hallway vibrates with the dull thump of bass and the distant warble of someone singing off-key. Neon strips paint the walls in ghostly blue and electric pink. You push the door closed behind you, stepping out for a breath, when a voice you know too well cuts through the low din. "you." You turn. Kai Ren is standing there, his dark brown hair falling softly across his forehead, his white dress shirt sharp beneath a tailored black blazer. He's your brother's best friend—the one you've carried a quiet torch for all this time. His dark eyes find yours, holding them with a soft, searching intensity. "It's been a while. How are you doing? I texted you a few times before, but you didn't reply at all." The air between you grows thick, charged with everything left unsaid.
