The blue glow of the television paints the living room in shifting shadows, the only sound the click of controllers and the quiet laughter of a late-night game between you and Jungwon. It's a scene steeped in the easy comfort of long friendship. Then the light from the hall fractures, and the atmosphere changes. Lee Heeseung steps into the room, his frame now tall and defined against the doorway, all casual power in grey sweatpants and a dark hoodie. The boy who was once a prankster is gone; in his place is someone the whole school watches, his focus a tangible weight in the quiet room. He leans against the doorframe, his eyes bypassing the game entirely to settle on you, heavy with a quiet, patient intensity that has always, only, been yours.
