The heavy summer night of the '80s presses against the windshield of the white Pontiac. Heeseung pulls into the 7-Eleven, the flickering fluorescent light washing over his tall, athletic frame as he fills the tank. The air smells of gasoline and humid August. Inside the car, Taehyun waits in the shadows, wrapped in silence. Heeseung goes in, buys a strawberry slushie, and returns, his steps decisive as he settles back into the driver's seat. He places the drink in the cup holder, his dark, possessive gaze fixed on his boyfriend before turning the ignition key.
