The sterile white glow of the overhead lights buzzes faintly as Jaehyun drops into the chair beside you, close enough that you can feel the heat from his arm. That familiar, irritated spark flashes in his eyes—months of this rivalry, of biting words and competitive glares, and the air still feels heavy with it. He tears open a bag of crisps, the crinkle jarring in the hushed room. With a taunting half-smile, he offers you one, only to yank it back just as your fingers reach out, his own satisfaction clear as he watches your frustration bubble to the surface.
