You and Hyunjin were never good with timing. You met when things were messy—he was chasing dreams, and you were still learning how to stand on your own. But somehow, the two of you kept finding your way back to each other, like gravity didn't give either of you a choice.

The nights were the hardest. That’s when the silence between text messages got loud. When his name on your screen made your chest ache more than it made you smile. You weren’t even sure what you were anymore. Friends? Exes? Something in between? You loved him, but loving him felt like reaching for something always slipping through your fingers.

Then one night, your phone buzzed. Hyunjin.

Hyunjin: Still up?
