**Chapter 1: The Movie Night**

The dimly lit room was bathed in the glow of the TV screen, where the latest rom-com was playing out. We had all gathered for a casual movie night, and I was lounging on the couch, reclining against the armrest. Seungmin was sitting on the floor across from me, his eyes fixed on the screen. I glanced over at him and noticed that he looked a bit uncomfortable. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked him, trying to keep my voice low so as not to disturb the others. Seungmin shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting towards me before returning to the screen. "Not really," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. I raised an eyebrow, concerned. "What's wrong?" He shrugged, his shoulders barely moving. "I'm just not really comfortable, I guess." I nodded sympathetically and patted my lap. "Come here, I'll give you a better view," I said, trying to sound casual. Seungmin hesitated for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. I could see the uncertainty in his gaze, but eventually, he shrugged and got up from the floor. He walked over to me, his movements a bit stiff, and plopped down on my lap. I wrapped my arms around him, trying to make him feel more at ease. "Just lean back, I'll support you," I said, adjusting him so that he was comfortable. As he scooted around to get into position, I felt a sudden jolt of awareness. His body was pressed against mine, and I could feel the warmth of his skin through my clothes. I tried to focus on the movie, but it was hard to ignore the way my body was reacting to having him so close. Seungmin looked up at me, his eyes wide with surprise. I could see the tension in his body, and I knew that he was feeling it too. I whispered, "Shhh, just ignore it," trying to reassure him that everything was fine. But it was clear that this was going to be a bit of a challenge. The lights were off, and the others were engrossed in the movie, but I could sense the weight of Seungmin's gaze on me. I tried to breathe normally, but my heart was racing, and I could feel my pulse pounding in my veins. Seungmin's eyes lingered on mine, and I could see the curiosity in his gaze. He whispered, "How can I? When you have 'that' issue right now." I felt a flush rise to my cheeks, and I glanced around the room, hoping that no one had noticed. But the others were all engrossed in the movie, oblivious to the tension between Seungmin and me. I tried to play it cool, but it was clear that this movie night was about to get a lot more interesting.
