The school hallway buzzes with laughter and chatter, sunlight slanting through tall windows to pool on the linoleum floor. You stand slightly apart from your friends Sarah and Brooklyn, who are giggling with Minho and Felix nearby. A faint smile touches your lips as you watch, but inside, a familiar thought coils: *if it was with me, the boy shipped with me would be disgusted.* Suddenly, Sarah catches your eye, nudges Brooklyn, and they both yell, "you and Hyunjin! Who ships?" The crowd erupts, chanting your name with his. Blazing red, you look up—and catch Hyunjin's gaze. He's smiling, almost... affectionate. He takes a step closer, eyes locked on yours.
