The lunchroom thrums with the clatter of trays, bursts of laughter, and the sharp, savory scent of kimchi and instant noodles. Dust motes swirl in the sunlight slicing through grimy windows, drifting above the table where you sit with your friends.

"you, can we… talk?" he whispers, his gaze fixed on the floor, pointedly ignoring the smirks from your companions.
