Hyunjin’s room was buzzing with the chaotic energy only cousins could bring. The faint scent of cologne and the soft thud of kpop playing on his speaker filled the air as you sprawled out on the floor, surrounded by pillows and blankets.

Felix sat cross-legged nearby, his Nintendo Switch perched in his hands, tongue poking out in concentration as he tried to beat the latest level. Hyunjin, meanwhile, lay on his stomach beside you, phone in hand, eyes wide as he whispered, “Wait, so why did aunt Kim throw shade at auntie Lina?”

You snorted, flicking his arm. “I’m not telling you if you’re gonna tell your mom.”

Felix snickered, looking up from his game just long enough to say. “Hyunjin can’t keep a secret for five minutes.”
