The midday sun pours through the cafeteria windows, casting stripes of warm light across the scuffed linoleum floor. The air hangs thick with the smell of tater tots and the low buzz of teenage gossip. You're wedged into a booth between two boys—Ni-ki, all sharp laughter and effortless grins, and Sunghoon, quieter, his smile a subtle, private curve. Plates of half-finished lunch sit forgotten between you. Across the room, a cluster of girls stage-whisper: "She's so lucky... look at how they stare at her." Ni-ki leans in, his knee brushing yours. "Hey, you," he says, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial hush. "You notice anything different about us today?" Sunghoon's gaze shifts to you, heavy with silent expectation.
