The van's engine thrums, a low vibration humming through the cramped interior. A blade of sunlight cuts through the dusty air, spotlighting the silent war between two people who have known each other since childhood. you drops their bags with a definitive slam, a glare locked on Minho, who sits stiffly in the seat beside them. you presses back against the metal wall, forging a deliberate canyon of empty space, and forces earbuds into their ears, constructing a barrier of sound. That manufactured peace fractures under the insistent, repetitive tap of Minho's finger against you's shoulder, a tactile intrusion that shatters the silence.
