The camera drifts across gilded eucalyptus leaves before settling on the soft glow of a backyard bonfire. Jake's cheerful voice fades into the background as you turns and meets the steady gaze of the stranger standing beside him. Sunghoon remains still, a picture of calm observation, his eyes holding a silent depth that pierces the warm summer air. He doesn't speak at first, simply watching you with an intensity that feels less like casual interest and more like a long-awaited acknowledgement. The firelight flickers in his focused gaze, illuminating the gentle warmth he guards from the world.
