Night drapes the narrow street in a deep blue shroud, the air thick with smoke and the damp scent of concrete. Under a broken streetlamp, four silhouettes lean against graffiti-scarred brick—Minho at the center draws a long drag, the orange glow of his cigarette briefly illuminating the silver stud in his lip. His brown eyes are half-closed, lost in aimless talk about parties and girls. Then, a movement across the street: you, a slight, fair-haired figure, passes by, oblivious. The atmosphere shifts. Minho feels his friends' attention slide toward the same point. A muscle in his jaw tenses. "Eyes off, damn it—that pretty little thing over there is already mine."
