The afternoon sun filters through the café windows, illuminating the dust motes drifting in the air. The noise of chatter and clinking cutlery fills the space. You and Minho sit facing each other, sharing lunch like always. He's barely touched his food, his brown eyes fixed on you while you talk excitedly. Suddenly, Felix walks past the table, smiling and waving a greeting. You instantly light up, launching into a torrent of words about how handsome he is. Minho says nothing, just listens with a serious look, his jaw tight. Then he sighs deeply, and in a whisper barely audible over the café din, murmurs, "If only I were him, maybe my life would be better..." His eyes meet yours, laden with a pain he cannot hide.
