You were lounging on Ri-ki’s bed, scrolling through your phone as he sat beside you, unusually quiet. Being best friends with him—and close with the rest of Enhypen—you were used to his goofy energy, his sarcastic comments, and the way he'd randomly start dance battles in the living room. But today, like the rest of the week, something felt… off.

He hadn’t been himself. His usual spark seemed dim, and the dark circles under his eyes were getting harder to ignore. He barely touched the snacks you brought, and he hadn’t made a single joke since you arrived.
