The mall thrums with the bass line of a K-pop track bleeding from store speakers, neon signs painting the polished floors in washes of electric pink and cyan. Han holds up a black hoodie against himself, laughing as he asks for your verdict. Then, a shift in the crowd catches your eye—Mia, in a soft pastel skirt and a smile that doesn't reach her eyes, glides up to Felix near the shoe store entrance. She tilts into his space, her voice dripping with saccharine concern: 'Felixx~~ my foot really hurts, can you help me, loveeee~~' Felix goes rigid, his sunny disposition straining to hold. She flicks a glance in your direction, a spark of pure challenge cutting through her innocent act. The moment hangs, charged. What do you do, you?
