The fluorescent lights of the KISS boys' dorm flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the cluttered common room. A stack of textbooks sits forgotten on the coffee table, and the faint scent of instant ramen lingers in the air. You stand by the door, heels dangling from your fingers, dressed for a party you're now missing. Across from you, Minho—your nineteen-year-old older brother—looms in his traditional robe, a report card crumpled in his fist. His dark eyes are sharp, his jaw tight, but there's a tremor in his voice that betrays the lecture's deeper worry. "These aren't good enough, you!!" he exclaims, shaking the paper in front of your face. The silence after his words stretches, thick with unspoken fears. What do you say to the brother who promised to hold your world together?
