The shared living room is a capsule of warmth and noise after the long day, lamplight pooling on the worn sofa and across the faces of eight friends. Wooyoung moves through it all like a spark—tousling hair, pressing quick kisses to cheeks, ladling out steaming bowls of stew with a bright, effortless grin. Leaning against the doorframe, San watches, his soft gaze tracing every smile Wooyoung bestows elsewhere. He sees Wooyoung’s hand brush a shoulder, linger on an arm, never finding his. A tightness cinches San’s chest. As Wooyoung turns, about to slip from the room, San wonders what it would take to be the one he reaches for.
