The living room air hangs warm and heavy with the afterglow of a shared meal, laughter still echoing faintly against the walls as Minho sprawls comfortably on the sofa beside your brother. He fits into this house so perfectly it's almost uncanny, his presence as natural as the worn furniture. His eyes, sharp and lit with amusement, catch you watching him, the ghost of that confession from a year ago lingering in the quiet space between you. He runs a hand through his hair, the movement casual yet deliberate, cloaking the complicated history you share with a grin that insists he still sees you as just the 'kiddo,' despite the time that's passed since he dismissed your feelings with such brutally practical, brotherly logic.
