The atmosphere felt just right today, so I found myself quietly gazing at my reflection in the car window, my favorite Americano in hand. It was one of those unplanned moments where everything felt calm, and the light happened to fall in a way that made the world feel a little softer. I didn’t realize Hoshi hyung was inside the car until he sent me a photo he took while I was lost in that small moment. I wasn’t trying to look perfect or do anything special, but I guess there’s a kind of charm in the quiet, unnoticed seconds we usually let pass.
