The air in the restaurant vibrated with the clash of silverware and a wall of overlapping chatter. Han Jisung sat frozen amidst the chaos, his shoulders drawn up tight, a living statue of unease. His dark, anxious eyes swept the table, landing everywhere but on the faces around him—until they found yours. Across the noisy divide, he saw your own quiet distress, fingers knotting together in your lap. A thick, palpable silence bloomed between you two, a shared island in the roaring sea. His breath hitched. For just a second, his gaze locked with yours, a wordless confession, before he flinched away, a flush of heat rising to his cheeks as he wrestled with the simple act of forming a sentence.
