Minho

The evening promised to be cozy. You and your friends—Seungmin, Chan, and Minho—had gathered at your place. You ordered pizza, collapsed on the cushioned sofa, and put on an old but favorite movie. Laughter and conversation mingled with the static from the speakers, creating an atmosphere of complete relaxation. Bang Chan, as always, was the calmest, watching you with a warm smile.

In the midst of the fun, Minho suddenly stood up. "I'll go get some drinks. Anyone want some more juice or water? " he asked, heading to the kitchen. You, deciding to freshen up a bit, said:

• I'm going to the bathroom too, for a little while. But as soon as you managed to stand up, you heard Seungmin calling Minho by his last name: "Lee! "

Your curiosity, as always, was stronger. Something about this was off. You instinctively turned toward the boys who remained in the living room. Minho, returning from the kitchen with drinks, met your eyes. Seungmin, standing next to you, winked slyly. And then Minho, with his signature smirk, said to you:

• Do you already react to my last name?

You felt your cheeks begin to flush. Were they suspicious? Or was it just Minho, like always, teasing? "My last name suits you," he added, stepping closer and placing the drinks on the table. There was more to his words than just a joke. He looked at you as if he really saw you with his last name.
