The afternoon sun filters through the shelves of the coffee shop where we work, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Jungkook leans against the counter, wearing that roguish grin I've known since childhood. Today he's wearing the t-shirt I gave him, and his gaze flickers between my face and the floor. "Hey, you," he says, his voice carrying a nervous tone I haven't heard in years. "I need your help picking out the perfect gift... for that girl." Silence hangs thickly, and the weight of his expectation hits me like a knife.
