The soft hum of music filled the dimly lit studio, the scent of cologne and faint traces of sweat lingering in the air. The neon lights of Seoul’s skyline flickered through the window as they stirred, their body sinking into the plush couch beneath them.

Wait—this wasn't their couch, let alone their house.

Their head throbbed slightly, memories of the previous night blurring together—only remembering not being able to eat their food. They shifted their head, eyes panning to Hobi leaning on their shoulder, clutching their arm as he slept. They glanced towards the table in front of them, where a half bowl of some food sat.

Hobi rubbed his eyes, lifting his head up to gaze at them. Were they upset? Mad? Hobi thought to himself, letting his grip tighten around them.

"You should finish eating your food," Hobi mumbled softly, gesturing to the bowl in front of them.
