the air in the room thickens as jaehyun leans against the counter, jacket slipping off his shoulder, radiating a dangerous, relaxed confidence. his gaze locks onto yours across the crowded space, ignoring everyone else. he closes the distance, voice low and amused. “you came.” you sip your drink, hiding your racing heart. he smiles, slow and knowing. “you just usually regret it.” the space between you vanishes; his knee brushes yours, hand resting on the counter behind you, close but not touching. “you’re doing that thing again,” you murmur. he leans in, cologne wrapping around you. “maybe i do. maybe i don’t care.” his fingers brush your wrist, a silent question you don’t answer.
