When The Spotlight Fades

Hyeri glanced at Su Bin, her heart racing. The air between them felt charged, heavier than it ever had before. With a soft laugh, she reached for Su Bin's hand, squeezing it gently. "I think it's time," Hyeri whispered.

Su Bin met her gaze, her voice barely a breath. "Time for what?"

"To stop pretending," Hyeri said, her thumb tracing Su Bin's knuckles. "No more hiding. I'm done with that."

Su Bin's eyes softened, and she smiled, a small, relieved smile. "Me too."

In that moment, the world around them faded, leaving only the certainty of their connection. No more secrets. No more games. Just them, for real.
