DINO / LEE CHAN ONESHOTS [✓]

57.

Angst, since everyone including me loves it. IDK how to describe.

The dorm was unusually quiet, a heavy silence hanging in the air as Dino sat alone in the corner of the living room.

The flickering light of the TV cast shadows across his face, but he wasn't really watching the screen.

His mind was elsewhere, replaying the countless moments that now felt like a distant memory.

He used to be so close with his hyungs, sharing laughter, secrets, and dreams.

But lately, something has shifted.

The once-tight bond felt strained, as if an invisible wall had risen between them.

Dino couldn't pinpoint exactly when it started, but he felt it deeply.

Dino's phone buzzed with a message from Dokyeom in their group chat, suggesting a movie night.

He glanced at it, his heart aching with the realization that he no longer felt the same excitement he once did.

Hesitating for a moment, he typed a quick reply,

'Maybe next time, hyung.'

He turned his phone face down, shutting out the world.

The door creaked open, and Jeonghan stepped in, his eyes immediately finding Dino in the corner.

"Hey, you alright?"

Jeonghan's voice was gentle, but it felt like a distant echo to Dino.

"Yeah, just tired."

Dino replied, forcing a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Jeonghan watched him for a moment, sensing the unspoken words, the same growing distance.

He wanted to bridge the gap, to reach out and pull Dino back into the warmth of their brotherhood, but he didn't know how.

As Jeonghan walked away, Dino's smile faded.
