"Friends don't kiss each other..." he whispered softly, sucking the skin below your ear, making you moan under him, "but we fuck every day."
What began as a mere curiosity quickly spiraled into a compulsive addiction, an uncontrollable obsession...

The small flame flickered violently before being swallowed by the cold air, leaving only a thin wisp of smoke rising into the fading sunlight. Jungwon's eyes reflected the dying fire, his breath catching as he blinked. The moment his lashes fluttered shut, a familiar sight unfolded before him.
The smile of the girl.
Sunoo sat on the mat beside the shore, a cake placed in front of him, untouched. His fingers trembled slightly as they hovered above the candles that had long since lost their glow. His eyes, glassy and filled with quiet sorrow, stared down at the cake as if waiting for someone to make the first move—to sing, to celebrate, to laugh. But silence hung between them like an unspoken truth, pressing heavily on their chests.
A soft melody reached Jungwon's ears, fragile and distant, like a whisper carried by the wind. He turned his head and found Sunghoon sitting beside him, fingers carefully turning the key of a delicate snow globe. The tiny mechanism clicked with each turn, its music playing on a painful loop. The key itself—attached to the other half of his necklace—gleamed under the fading light, a reminder of something lost, something once whole. Sunghoon's grip on it tightened, his knuckles paling as he refused to let go.
Further away, Niki stood at the water's edge, his back turned to them. The waves rolled forward, lapping at his feet, but he remained still, eyes locked on the horizon as if searching for something—someone—who would never return. The wind tousled his hair, but he made no move to push it back, his silence speaking louder than any words ever could.
Jake sat nearby, fingers clenched into the fabric of his jeans. His gaze kept flickering towards the parked car in the distance. Every time a shadow moved, his breath hitched, anticipation flickering in his eyes before dying just as quickly. He sighed, a tear slipping down his cheek, his shoulders slumping as realization settled in. No one was coming.
Jungwon's eyes landed on Jay next. He sat with his head bowed, his hands gripping a necklace so tightly it looked as if it would shatter under the pressure. But, the necklace was already in pieces. And, the other one with a heart ring was around his neck. As if he was carrying the his only heart with him. The chain dangled between his fingers, the pendant swaying ever so slightly. Tears streamed down his face in silence, his lips pressed together to suppress the sobs threatening to escape.
Then, the sharp click of a camera shutter broke through the stillness. Everyone turned towards Heeseung. He slowly lowered his camera, his eyes scanning the screen. His expression faltered. The only thing captured was the golden hues of the sunset, stretched across the sky and reflected in the water. His brows furrowed as if expecting something more—as if expecting the girl.
A single tear slid down his cheek.
And then—
A laugh.
Soft, gentle, and achingly familiar.
Their heads snapped towards the sound, eyes widening in disbelief.
