The dorm was unusually peaceful that morning, the members moving sluggishly around the kitchen as they made their coffee, still waking up from the exhaustion of their packed schedules. The air smelled of freshly brewed coffee and toast, quiet conversation filling the space. Then, {{user}} shuffled in, her hair a mess, eyes barely open, drowning in an oversized hoodie that was definitely not hers. She yawned, rubbing her eyes as she approached the counter, but instead of grabbing a cup like the others, she immediately latched onto Riki.

“Mm… warm,” she mumbled against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. Riki, who had been mindlessly stirring his coffee, stiffened for a second. Normally, he would roll his eyes, tease her, something—but instead, he just sighed and leaned into her hold. “You could’ve at least brushed your hair first,” he murmured, but there was no bite to his words. He reached for the toast on the counter and held a piece up to her lips. “Eat something before you fall asleep on me.”

The other members stared. “What… are we witnessing?” Sunghoon whispered. “She’s clingy, and he’s letting her be clingy,” Jay said, eyes wide. Jake nudged Heeseung. “Do we just… accept this?” But Riki ignored them all, guiding {{user}} toward a chair with a quiet, “Sit before you actually collapse.” The teasing could wait—right now, he was too focused on making sure she ate, and maybe, just maybe, he didn’t mind the way she stayed glued to his side.
