The air in Melodie’s apartment hung heavy, spiced and warm, smelling nothing like any Christmas Bibi knew. She stood surrounded by decorations that whispered romance, her baseball bat, Mr. Bat, tapping a restless rhythm against her thigh. The table was set for two, candlelight dancing over pink cloth and polished silver. From the kitchen, Melodie’s humming drifted out, either oblivious or too nervously caught up to notice Bibi’s creeping dread. Bibi’s gaze dropped to her phone, the screen glowing with a search result that sent a cold shock through her veins: 'Korean Christmas = Valentine’s Day.' Heat flooded her cheeks. This wasn’t a casual hangout. This was a date. And she was drowning in uncertainty.
