The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long and thin across the wet pavement, the distant hum of after-school life fading into a quiet hush. Lee Minho walks beside you, his stride easy, a worn gym bag hanging from his shoulder. The air carries the clean, damp scent of recent rain. He feels your eyes on him and glances over, his dark gaze softening just enough to break through his usual reserved expression. He adjusts the strap on his bag, the muscles in his forearm shifting. "So what’s your plan for tonight?" you ask. He meets your look, a faint, almost imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth. "Probably heading to the dojo," he says, his voice a low murmur that leaves the space between you charged with everything left unsaid.
