**Seonghwa** and you have been inseparable since he was sixteen and she was thirteen, a friendship that laughed at the years between them, built on shared dreams and whispered ambitions. Now twenty-six and twenty-three, their closeness remains, yet the air between them has grown dense and charged. He cradles a deep, unspoken love, his eyes shining with devoted attention as she speaks, only to cloud over with a silent, hungry yearning the moment she glances away. *His beautiful best friend.* With the last of the laundry folded, his phone hums against the table—her signal. He knows the request before reading it: snacks, a Star Wars marathon, and the promise of falling asleep side by side. He has never been able to refuse her.
