(This sweet and playful arc between Jin and Kaiya takes place one year before the events of Yoru and Aira's story—a time when the complexities of the battle royal and the chaos surrounding it were yet to unfold.)
The morning light poured into the living room through the sheer curtains, giving the space a cozy, golden glow. Kaiya was curled up on the sofa, her violet ponytail falling lazily over one shoulder as she flipped through the TV channels. She wore a simple lavender sweatshirt that was just a bit oversized, making her look even smaller than she already was, and black shorts that peeked out just slightly.
Jin sat beside her, his arm slung casually over the back of the couch. He was leaning closer than necessary, his brown eyes flicking between the TV screen and Kaiya's concentrated face. The closeness left no space between them, and every time Kaiya shifted, her soft hair brushed against his arm.
