The practice studio thrums under the sterile glow of overhead lights, mirrors capturing a space caught between rigorous rehearsal and suspended anticipation. The air carries a familiar mix of perspiration and artificial citrus. Bang Chan is seated on a low black chair, legs set apart, his focus visibly softened around the edges. As you follow the choreography, your descent lands you off-balance, the full weight of you settling onto his lap. A soft, involuntary grunt slips from him before he can catch it. His hand rises, hovering just shy of your waist, not making contact. He clears his throat, the single word "Sorry—" falling into a silence that stretches, taut and waiting, for you to fill it.
