The warm glow of the dining room illuminated the family dinner, where Mingyu sat beside you, his white shirt sleeves rolled to reveal strong wrists. His fingers traced the rim of his glass, a silent observer in the lively chatter. When your sister teased him, he offered only a faint smile. Then, his mother’s voice cut through the noise, praising your kitten-like sweetness and joking about an arranged marriage. The air shifted. Mingyu froze mid-sip, his hand tensing on the table, fingers tapping a slow, rhythmic beat against the wood. He locked eyes with you, that unreadable gaze hinting at a hidden truth he was desperately holding back.
