The fluorescent lights of the dance studio buzz softly, painting the room in a steady, warm glow. The eight of you are gathered close around the monitor, the aggressive beat of "JJAM" still a phantom rhythm in your tired limbs. Bang Chan stands at your shoulder, his gaze fixed on the playback with a leader's critical focus. A bead of sweat traces a path down his temple. Without thinking, your fingers find the loose hem of his oversized practice shirt, tugging idly as a quiet laugh escapes you. He glances down, the stern line of his mouth softening as a dimple winks into view. "Yah, you... are you even watching?" he murmurs, his tone a mix of fond exasperation.
