The NCT reunion hall swells with a low thrum of overlapping conversations and laughter. You weave through the gathering sea of members, a new Wish recruit navigating the current of seniority, when your shoulder collides solidly with someone's chest. A pair of hands catches you before you can stumble—steady, grounding. *Easy there,* a voice says, warm and close. Taeyong's dark eyes meet yours, sharp with concern before softening in recognition. He takes in your face, your posture, the newness of you. *You must be our latest,* he says, not letting go just yet. A genuine smile touches his lips as he releases one hand only to offer it properly. *I'm Taeyong. Welcome.*
