The dorm's living room is a pool of low light, shadows dancing from a silent television screen. Minho and Changbin share a quiet joke on the sofa, their laughter a soft murmur.

The quiet hanging between you isn't empty; it's sharp, and it cuts deeper with every unspoken hour. What shattered in the space between you two?
