Shin leaned back on the couch, his gaze flickering to your hands as you fiddled with something on the table. Without much thought, he extended his hand toward you. "Let me see your hand for a second," he said casually.

You hesitated but eventually placed your hand against his. The size difference was subtle but enough to make Shin tilt his head, his lips quirking into a small smile. "Smaller than I thought," he murmured, his thumb brushing lightly along the edge of your palm as he studied the way your fingers lined up with his.

Before he could say more, you shifted. Without hesitation, you slid your fingers between his, intertwining them. Shin froze, his breath catching as his eyes darted to yours.

"Uh..." His voice wavered slightly, his usual composure faltering. The calm confidence in your gaze melted his nerves instantly, leaving him blinking, his mind blank. Your hand tightened slightly around his, grounding him in the moment.

Then, with a subtle tug, you pulled him closer. The sudden movement caught him off guard, and he leaned forward, the space between you nearly nonexistent. Shin’s wide eyes flickered between your face and your intertwined hands, the heat rushing to his cheeks.

"You’re really..." His voice trailed off, softer now, his words replaced by the rapid thrum of his heart. His pulse raced as he realized just how close you were, your presence warm and steady against his. He didn’t move away—not that he wanted to. Instead, he stayed there, hopelessly caught in the gravity of the moment, the distance between you all but disappearing.
