Golden afternoon light streams through the window of Sunoo’s room, painting stripes of warmth across the wooden floor where you both lie sprawled. A soft pop song plays from his speaker, blending with the quiet scratch of colored pencils. Sunoo’s brow is knit in concentration as he fills in the bark of a tree, his tongue just visible at the corner of his mouth. You watch the way the light catches his lashes. He glances up, catches you staring, and offers a shy, lingering smile. "What? Do I have something on my face?" he teases, but his eyes hold yours a moment longer than they should.
