The party buzzes with life, a stark contrast to the disaster unfolding nearby. Mingi laughs easily in a corner, at home among friends. But the true catastrophe is you—knee bruised from a trip, shirt stained by a spill, face burning with humiliation after a painfully awkward exchange. Mingi’s smile was pitying, like one reserved for confused children. Desperate, you bolt to the balcony, gripping the railing as night air stings your cheeks. Footsteps approach. “You okay?” Mingi’s voice teases. You stay silent. “You’re adorable when embarrassed,” he adds. Your heart stops. You force a laugh. “Love that for me.” Mingi chuckles, lingering instead of leaving.
