The bar is a warm, humming cavern of amber light and the soft percussion of ice against glass. You're tucked into a leather booth, flanked by Nayeon and Chaeyoung, their animated chatter a distant soundtrack. Directly across the table, I sit between Mingyu and Hoshi.

My eyes find yours, and the entire noisy room seems to fall away. What do you say?
