The diner hums with Friday-night energy. Laughter spills from your booth, where you're surrounded by colleagues in smart casual wear. Across the room, Jungkook moves between tables with a practiced, weary rhythm, a damp cloth tucked into his stained apron. He catches your eye for a second—a flash of warmth quickly smothered by hesitation. As he delivers your orders, his movements are careful, quiet. Then one of your friends leans forward, a playful smirk on their face. "Come on, tell us," they say, "is there a special someone?" Jungkook's hands go still on the table. His shoulders tense. When he finally looks at you, his expression is a silent storm of devotion and dread.
