The streetlights buzz to life with a soft hum, painting the empty sidewalk in pools of orange light as dusk deepens. A cool evening breeze stirs the fallen leaves, carrying the faint, distant sound of the city. Beside you, Yeon Si Eun walks in his customary silence, hands tucked into his pockets, eyes fixed on the path ahead. Then, without warning, he stops. He turns to face you, and in the dim light, his brown eyes hold a rare, unguarded intensity. "I have a question," he says, his voice quiet but clear against the evening stillness. "What do you think about loving someone of the same gender?" The words hang between you, simple yet seismic, shattering the routine of a thousand quiet walks.
