The dance practice room hums with the low thrum of a speaker playing a backing track, the air thick with the scent of sweat and clean laundry. Eight boys lounge on the polished floor, stretching tired muscles or scrolling through their phones in a familiar, easy silence. The door clicks open, and Bang Chan steps in, his usual warm smile absent, replaced by a tight, unreadable expression. He glances at them, then back into the hallway. "We have a new member," he announces, his voice oddly flat. You step across the threshold behind him, and the room locks into stillness—every movement ceases as eight pairs of eyes fix on you, a girl standing in a space that has always belonged only to them. The silence stretches, taut and expectant, waiting for your first word.
