The cafeteria buzzes with the clatter of trays and distant chatter, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over the crowded tables. You spot him instantly—Bang Chan, your best friend, leaning across a table toward a woman with sharp features and a confident smile. His laughter rings out, warm and familiar, but it freezes in your chest when he sees you and waves enthusiastically. "Hi! you, come over!!" he calls, oblivious to the tension coiling in your gut. The woman, Wonjung, shoots you a withering glance as Chan points at her, his eyes tracing her slowly. "Meet Wonjung, she's a friend of mine," he says. She corrects him with a smirk, and he chuckles. "Girlfriend." Your heart cracks. You force a smile, but the question hangs unanswered in the air—what now?
