The house wasn't quiet this time.
Voices echoed faintly from the hallway.
Tahee stepped inside, pausing slightly.
"…Something's different."
She walked further in—
And stopped.
Su-ho was there.
Of course she was.
But she wasn't alone.
Her mother stood beside her.
And—
Her third brother.
Looking… unusually stiff.
"…Oh?"
Tahee tilted her head slightly.
"…What's happening now?"
"Perfect timing," her mother said.
Tahee smiled lightly.
"Did I miss something?"
"…Hopefully nothing important."
No one answered immediately.
Instead—
Su-ho's gaze shifted toward her.
Sharp.
Focused.
Watching.
Always watching.
Before Tahee could sit—
A glass slipped from the table.
Falling.
Fast.
Without thinking—
Tahee moved.
She caught it.
Perfectly.
Before it hit the ground.
Silence.
Complete silence.
Tahee blinked.
"…That was fast."
Too fast.
Her brother stared at her.
"…Since when are you that quick?"
A pause.
Tahee smiled casually.
"Lucky timing."
"…Not lucky."
But no one spoke.
Because Su-ho—
Had seen everything.
Not the catch.
But the reaction.
Natural.
Uncalculated.
Different.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Just a little.
Tahee placed the glass down.
Calm.
"…That might've been a mistake."
A pause.
"…A big one."
Her brother scoffed lightly.
"Trying to impress someone?"
Tahee glanced at him.
"…Still annoying."
But before she could respond—
Su-ho spoke.
"Reflexes don't change overnight."
Silence.
Tahee's fingers stilled.
Just for a second.
Then—
She smiled again.
"Maybe I'm just improving."
"…That sounded fake."
No one laughed.
No one reacted.
Because the atmosphere—
Had shifted.
Completely.
Su-ho turned away slowly.
But her voice remained calm.
Too calm.
"Interesting."
A pause.
"Your body reacts faster than your answers."
Silence.
Tahee didn't respond.
But her mind did.
"…This is bad."
Because now—
Su-ho wasn't just listening.
She was comparing.
