"Joon-ah, how have you been?"

Min-jun slowly opened his eyes to find Seung-joon gazing at him with longing eyes. They were overflowing with emotions, resembling a deep pool on an autumn night—cool yet undeniably vibrant. Min-jun felt himself getting lost in the blue depths of Seung-joon's gaze.

During dinner, Min-jun felt disconnected from the moment, as if he were merely a spectator. He couldn't savor the food, so he ate quietly, stealing occasional glances at Seungjoon. As he mechanically consumed his meal, he listened to the chatter around the table.

"Tae-Tae, that's disgusting… close your mouth," Tae-jon scolded Tae-min, who was trying to provoke him.

Chang-min spoke quietly with Seung-joon.

"Kid, what's on your schedule tomorrow? We need to go shopping," Chang-min asked as he handed Seung-joon a glass of orange juice.
