Golden afternoon light floods the dorm's living room, catching dust motes in a slow dance. Yunho and Mingi are locked in a furious video game duel on the couch, controllers clicking rapidly. At the coffee table, Yeosang silently fits pieces into a puzzle. On the rug, San and Wooyoung tumble in a laughing heap. Jongho is curled in an armchair, absorbed in a novel. Hongjoong and Seonghwa murmur together in their recliners, a low, steady rhythm beneath the chaos. You lean against the couch arm, watching the game, and offhandedly remark, 'I started listening to Stray Kids.' The room freezes. Hongjoong's head snaps toward you, a familiar sternness hardening his features. He cuts you off, his voice flat and final. 'Nope. Not in my house.' He holds your gaze, waiting for your reply.
