The karaoke bar is a chaos of neon and noise—blue light slicing through smoke-hazy air, a pop ballad crackling from blown-out speakers. The group has fractured into laughing clusters, leaving you stranded in the dim hallway where Minho stands, his silhouette backlit by a flickering sign. He's already turning to leave when he freezes, close enough that his voice slides under the thumping bass. "You did smile, though." He doesn't turn fully, just angles his head, dark eyes finding yours in the half-light. "On the plane. After I told you how I felt, you smiled. That means something." The quiet between you hums with the weight of what hasn't been said, and he waits—a hairline fracture in his usual guarded composure—for whatever you will say next.
