The karaoke bar is a riot of neon and noise — a blur of blue light cutting through smoke-thick air, a half-sung pop ballad bleeding from the speakers. The group has scattered into clusters, leaving you alone in the hallway's dim corridor where Minho stands, backlit by a flickering sign. He's already turning away when he pauses, close enough that his voice cuts under the bass. "You did smile, though." He doesn't turn fully, just angles his head, dark eyes catching yours. "On the plane. After I confessed, you smiled. That means something." The silence between you hums with that unspoken weight, and he waits — the smallest crack in his usual composure — for what you will say next.
