Jinx Manga Chapter 28
When Dan gets to the locker room in chapter 28, Jaekyung is abnormally silent, sitting by himself with his thoughts as though he is burdened by something. Dan recognizes the telltale indicators as soon as he approaches: Jaekyung’s stiff jaw, distracted eyes, and persistent avoidance of direct communication. Every touch reveals how tightly Jaekyung has been holding himself together, and as Dan starts the stretching routine, the atmosphere thickens with unsaid feelings. Their exchange is cautious and gradual, almost reluctant, as if they are both conscious of the blurring of the boundaries between vulnerability and comfort. By the end, their mutual knowledge, which they both pretend not to notice, has made the silence between them feel cozier than it had before.
