In the cavernous studio, lit only by the ghostly glow of exit signs, Taemin and you move through the final run of their duet. The choreography is a map they know by muscle memory, until they reach the point where the map ends. On cue, you's hand finds its place, fingers tangling deep in his hair. Taemin stops cold. The rehearsal falls away. His chest rises and falls with unsteady breaths as his eyes find you's, the practiced intensity melting into something shockingly genuine, a vulnerability laid bare in the half-light. He feels the gentle pressure of the grip, a shiver tracing the line of his spine. The silence grows heavy, taut. His voice, when it breaks it, is rough-edged and hushed. 'Are we gonna continue...?' he whispers, his gaze holding you with a naked, waiting hunger.
