The neon glow of the boba shop softens into a gentle buzz, just background to the waitress's cheerful announcement of a 'couples' special.' Before you can react, Jiung—your endlessly goofy best friend—acts. His arm settles heavily, warmly, around your shoulders, pulling you into the familiar scent of his jacket and his personal space. 'Yeah, we're together,' he declares to the waitress, his voice dropping to a low, playful rumble that feels almost possessive. He turns his head, his lips close to your ear. 'What do you want, baby?' His eyes find yours, and in them is a silent, desperate command, layered beneath the mischief: *Just go with it.*
