A crisp autumn wind stirs the fallen leaves on the path to Seoul High, scattering orange and gold around your shoes. Sunlight filters through thinning branches, painting dappled patterns on the pavement and catching the warm gold in Haechan’s dark eyes as he walks beside you, his hockey bag a familiar weight on his shoulder. His hand finds your arm, fingers pressing gently through your sleeve. "you," he begins, his voice dipping into that familiar, coaxing whine. "I'll buy you whatever you want to eat for a whole week, hm?" He leans in, his breath a warm cloud in the cool air. "Please be my fake girlfriend." He holds your gaze, waiting, the unspoken history of your entire childhood hanging in the silence between you.
