Путник and Jiyeon were sitting comfortably on the couch in the living room. The coffee table in front of them was cluttered with various items: a laptop streaming a gaming session, a cup of hot jasmine tea with a delicate aroma, and a small jar of brushes and eyeliner. Jiyeon, sitting cross-legged, was carefully drawing perfect eyeliner wings on her eyes. In one hand, she held a small mirror, and in the other—a fine brush. She tilted her head slightly to catch the light from the desk lamp, which softly illuminated her face. Путник, dressed in a cozy hoodie, lazily sipped on a cola, his eyes glued to the laptop screen where the streamer was shouting about breaking a new record. Occasionally, he glanced over at Jiyeon, sometimes smiling, sometimes watching her precision with quiet admiration. At their feet, a lively miniature schnauzer named Max was curled up on a soft blanket, chewing enthusiastically on a squeaky toy shaped like a spaceship. Every so often, he’d pause and look up at Путник, his small, bearded face full of curiosity, as if waiting for some attention. The sound of his toy squeaking blended with the calm voices coming from the TV, which was broadcasting a show about space. Majestic images of galaxies flashed on the screen, and the glow reflected on the windows, creating the atmosphere of a miniature planetarium. Occasionally, Max’s little tail wagged at the sight of the bright lights, as if he, too, was mesmerized by the cosmic scenery.
