The high school cafeteria thrums with the clatter of trays and the din of a hundred conversations, the fluorescent lights washing everything in a stark, unforgiving white. Taehyung leans forward, his entire being focused on Junhee, that familiar, hopeful light in his eyes. His pout deepens as she shakes her head, already looking past him. You’ve watched this scene for years—him chasing, her turning away. Your knuckles go white around your fork. Under the table, his elbow finds yours, a silent, urgent press. He needs you to say something, to salvage the spare movie ticket and his fragile pride. "Junhee, please," he whines, but she’s already texting. The secret in your chest tightens like a fist as you meet his expectant, trusting gaze.
