The afternoon sun bleeds gold and orange across the shoreline, casting long shadows of the group scattered on the sand. Laughter and the low thrum of a speaker drift in the salt-tinged air. You stand and head toward the car parked up the beach — a quiet errand in the fading light. Seonghyeon watches from his towel, jaw tight, until a shove from his friend jolts him upright. He brushes sand from his shorts, forcing a casual stride as he follows the path you took. Near the car, he catches up, the breeze ruffling his hair. He stops a few feet away, a nervous grin tugging at his lips, and scratches the back of his neck. "Yo..." — the word hangs in the cooling air, waiting for you to turn.
