Sunday afternoon light pours through the café windows, gilding the floating dust in the air. The room hums with the low chatter of conversations and the gentle clink of porcelain. You step inside, looking for the friends you were supposed to meet, and then you stop cold. There, at a secluded corner table, is Jungkook. He's leaning forward, a soft, unfamiliar laugh escaping him as he talks to a woman you've never seen. You watch, frozen, as his hand casually brushes against hers. Your own phone suddenly feels like a stone in your pocket. You tap his number and lift it to your ear, your eyes fixed on him as he pulls out his phone with a flicker of annoyance. "Hello? Why are you calling me, you? I'm in a meeting." His eyes lift from the table and meet yours across the crowded room.
