You’re barely awake, half-sleepy, when a soft knock at your cabin door pulls you out of bed.

Blinking, you swing it open—

And there’s Ethan, standing there in the dim moonlight, eyes dark and intense. Before you can say anything, he leans in and kisses you. Hard. Quick. Like he couldn’t wait.

You freeze for a second… then smile, because what else can you do?

Behind you, your siblings are suddenly visible, eyes wide, jaws dropping. “…Are you SERIOUS?”

Ethan doesn’t even flinch at the spectators. He just slowly turns, walking back to his cabin, leaving you with racing heart and the faint ghost of his lips on yours.

The hallway is quiet again. Too quiet. And you realize, once more, that dating Ethan Nakamura comes with the highest level of chaos and zero subtlety.
