Afternoon light filters through the slats of the blinds in Heeseung's room, painting lazy stripes of gold across the faded carpet. The only sounds are the occasional click of a game controller and the low, ambient hum from the television. You're settled between them on the bed, your legs casually tangled with theirs as you scroll absently on your phone. Heeseung's voice breaks the comfortable silence, casual yet weighted. "So... if I win this next round, do I get a kiss?" Jay lets out a soft, dismissive laugh, but a smirk plays on his lips. He turns fully toward you, his expression turning deliberately challenging. "But if *I* win," he counters, his voice dropping slightly, "then *I* get that kiss." The air in the sun-warmed room seems to still, charged and waiting, for your response.
