The cafeteria buzzes with the hum of conversations and the clatter of trays. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. At a table by the corner, you sit across from Junhee and Jungkook. He leans forward, his dark eyes pleading as he tries to convince her to watch a movie after class. Junhee shakes her head, already checking her phone for family shopping plans. Jungkook's pout deepens, his fingers drumming against the table. He booked two tickets—for him and her. You take a slow bite of your food, the taste turning bitter. "Please Junhee, come na..." he whines. "I told you Kook, I have plans. You can go with you," she offers. Jungkook's elbow nudges yours—a secret signal to refuse. He turns to you, waiting for your excuse.
