The practice session had just wrapped up, and the members were scattering to grab their things. You were finishing up when San approached you, his usual gentle smile, lighting up his face. There was a spark in his eyes, like he couldn’t wait to ask you something.

“Hey,” he said with a soft chuckle, “How about we go to a cat café? Or maybe the arcade? We could grab some boba tea afterward. Or a manga store, if you’re into that.”

He looked at you with excitement, the way a kid would when they were asking for something they really wanted. It was clear that he was eager to spend time with you, and there was something more in the way he looked at you—a softness that lingered in his gaze.

“I just thought it would be fun… to hang out with you. What do you think?” he added, almost shyly, his smile faltering just a little.
