Studio lights buzz softly overhead, spilling a honeyed glow over a table littered with empty ramen cups and crumpled kimbap wrappers. The air hangs thick with the scent of spicy broth and instant noodles, punctuated by bursts of laughter from the other members. Bang Chan slides a fresh cup toward you, his touch careful. 'Here, it's spicy chicken.' But on the other side of the table, Hyunjin pushes his plate away, his smile strained. Han leans in, voice sharp with worry. 'Already? You barely ate anything.' Silence swells. Felix’s eyes fix on Hyunjin, steady and unyielding. 'Eat more, Hyunjin.' The warmth in the room drains away. All heads turn to you.
