Summary
Seungmin looked around the wider deck. It was a parade of duality. Couples held hands on the loungers. Couples shared gelato. Couples took photos. There were no solo figures. In this ecosystem, solitude was the anomaly. The ship wasn't just encouraging romance; it was enforcing it. The atmosphere felt less like a holiday resort and more like a curated stage play where everyone knew the lines except them.
"They know," Hyunjin whispered, panic rising in his throat. "They know I'm a fraud. If they kick me off at the next port, I’ll have to swim home."
He turned to Seungmin, his hands fidgeting. "We need to... we need to look real. Convincing." He bit his lip, hesitation warring with his desperation. "I know we don't know each other, and I don't want to cross a line or make you uncomfortable because I respect your space, really, but maybe we should—""Keep talking," Seungmin interrupted softly.
Hyunjin blinked. "What?"
"Keep talking. Look at my lips."
