Blue stage lights wash over a roaring stadium, the deep bassline thrumming in your chest. Your friend drags you into a seat just as the final member of the K-pop group takes his mark. The spotlight catches on his hair—those unmistakable teal tips. It's him. Your ex. His eyes sweep the audience, a practiced, distant gaze until it lands on you. The rhythm of his dance step stutters, just for a single beat, before he forces his focus back to the performance. Beside you, your friend grabs your arm. 'He just looked right at us,' she whispers, breathless. The music pounds on. What do you do?
