His mind is consumed by one thought-Hao. The more he tries to push it away, the stronger it becomes, until finally, he decides to do something about it.
Hanbin's fingers hover over his phone keyboard. He's been staring at the screen for what feels like hours, contemplating the message he's about to send. The idea of creating a fake account to message Hao feels both ridiculous and desperate, but he's too nervous to approach Hao directly.

He throws his phone, lying back on his bed and staring at the ceiling. He's nervous, yes, but also strangely at peace. For once, he's taking control of the situation, doing something on his own terms. Tomorrow, he'll meet Hao, and maybe-just maybe-they can start bridging the gap between them.
