The fluorescent lights of the university hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum. Students shuffle past, but Minho barely registers them. He’s fixated on Han, who stands frozen a few feet away, lost in his own head. The air smells of floor wax and stale coffee. Minho shifts his weight, leather jacket creaking. He’s been watching Han’s distant expression for the last minute, a familiar knot of concern tightening in his chest. Finally, he steps closer, voice cutting through the noise: "Han, hello, can you hear me? Are you thinking about something again?" He tilts his head, a flicker of softness crossing his usually guarded face. "Are we going to the cinema in the end or no?" He waits, one eyebrow raised, expecting an answer.
