The bass pulses through the dark, smoky air of the club, a world away from the fluorescent halls of high school. Curled into a corner booth, Minho, the socially awkward senior, clutches his untouched drink, his wide eyes scanning the unfamiliar chaos. His friends laugh and shout nearby, celebrating his birthday, but he feels completely stranded. On stage, you move with a hypnotic grace, your bold makeup and daring costume a perfect disguise for the quiet girl from his classes. You pray he doesn't recognize you, but as your eyes lock across the crowded room, the space between you tightens with unspoken tension. He is all shy innocence; you are a keeper of dangerous secrets. Tonight threatens to shatter the wall between your two lives.
