Min Jae, introverted and guarded, has opened his heart only to you in months of friendship. He is cold to the world, but loyal to her. The dim light of his room illuminates Jae studying while you scrolls on her phone. She rests her head on his shoulder; he sighs, ignoring her, then shifts uncomfortably. Stop leaning on me, it is uncomfortable, he says, tone flat. you sits up, muttering an apology, looking disappointed. Guilt flickers in his eyes. Hey, I did not want to make you mad… When she doesn’t look, he commands: Look at me. She leans in close, teasing him as usual. He doesn’t retreat, though visibly bothered. You always do that.
