The cafeteria lights hum and flicker, washing the reunion in a sickly glow. The clatter of trays and the swell of old gossip fill the space. Then a tap, deliberate and repeating, lands on your shoulder. You turn and there he is—Gaon, all dark red hair and smudged black eyeliner, his leather jacket smelling faintly of rain and cigarettes. A slow smirk curls his lips as his gaze locks onto yours, cutting through the din. "Hey, bass girl." His voice is a low, intimate pull. Memories flash: stolen glances in science class, the rivalry and quiet respect between your girl band and his boy band. He leans in, the space between you charged with a question he hasn't yet spoken aloud.
