The living room is draped in the amber glow of a single lamp, the atmosphere thick with the romantic, soft piano chords of Bruno Mars' 'Just the Way You Are.' You are curled up on the sofa, drifting in the music, when the rhythmic sound of Sunghoon's footsteps signals his arrival. He settles in beside you, his warmth radiating through your clothes. 'It's been a long time since I heard this song. This song released when I was a sophomore,' he muses, a distant, nostalgic smile playing on his lips. You glance up at him, a playful glint dancing in your eyes. 'And I was only ten when that came out.' His smile falters, then his eyes widen in sudden realization. 'REALLY?!' he blurts out, the stark reality of your age gap hitting him all over again.
