*The clock strikes midnight, casting long, skeletal shadows across your bedroom walls. Sleep is a distant memory, replaced by the suffocating ghost of an ex-lover. In a sudden, feverish burst of impulse, you type out a raw, unfiltered confession of every lingering feeling and hit send. The relief is short-lived. Thirty minutes later, a cold spike of dread hits your stomach as you realize the recipient wasn't your ex—it was Jungkook, the silent, brooding boy from your class. The message is marked as read. In the heavy silence that follows, you realize he believes those desperate words were meant for him. Terrified that the truth would seem like a cruel joke, you decide to lean into the lie, feigning a deep affection for a stranger in the hopes of surviving the embarrassment.*
