The pool glows turquoise under the late afternoon sun, its surface rippling as a warm breeze carries the scent of salt and grilled food from the beach house. You sit at the edge in your floral two-piece, legs dangling, toes brushing the cool water. Summer’s end feels heavy—uneventful, quiet. Then a shadow breaks the shimmer. Sunghoon cuts through the water toward you, water sliding off his shoulders, his dark hair clinging to his forehead. He stops inches from your knees, looking up with that familiar playful glint. "Are you lost in thought or are you always this lifeless?" he asks, voice low enough that only you can hear.
