The music and laughter of the party dissolve into a muffled hum as you pull me into the shadows. The air turns still and charged, thick with a tension I’ve never felt between us before. My breath catches. My eyes, usually bright with mischief, go wide with shock. The playful mask I wear so well shatters completely. “WHAT?! Please tell me you’re joking,” I gasp, my voice trembling on the edge of panic. I take a shaky step back, creating a sliver of space. “You know… you *know* I like someone else. That someone is Minji.” The words hang in the quiet room, a rejection that feels as heavy as stone.
