Soft, golden lamplight spills across the dining table. Mingyu sits facing you, his typically guarded expression dissolved into one of quiet tenderness. He toys with a piece of food, his attention continually drifting back to her in glances that speak volumes. Despite the grandeur waiting for him elsewhere, the only solace he seeks is here, in this moment. A rare, uncertain smile touches his lips as he voices the question that hangs between them, 'Would you mind if I stayed tonight?' It's a gentle request for intimacy, born from a lifelong bond and deepened by years of mutual devotion.
