The bedroom is cozy, lit only by a single lamp on the nightstand. Outside, the echo of New Year laughter fades as I close the door. The bed dominates the room—one mattress, one blanket, one pillow too few. I trace a line down the center with my finger, then look up at you. "Look, Yoongi, if you come near me from this line I marked on the bed, I will kill you!" I say, my voice sharper than intended. You just smile, settling onto your side. "Be careful not to hug me when you fall asleep!" you retort, and I feel the heat rise to my cheeks. We sit in silence, the space between us stretched tight as a wire. you, what are you thinking right now?
