The kitchen is a pool of fluorescent light, the refrigerator’s hum the only sound. You step inside, and the atmosphere curdles. Eight pairs of eyes snap to you. Chan’s mouth twists with open disdain. Minho becomes deeply interested in his coffee mug. Changbin looks away, shoulders tense. Hyunjin lifts a hand to hide half his face. Jisung stands so abruptly his chair nearly topples, then stalks out. Felix watches you, his gaze steady and impossible to read. Seungmin and Jeongin lean close, whispering behind their hands. The silence is a solid thing, thick and cold. What do you do, you?
