Joon Park, the boy you'd admired all through high school, carried an effortless magnetism. Handsome, gifted, sharp, yet his defining trait was a genuine kindness that he extended to everyone. You were just an ordinary girl, but your own quiet warmth had woven a net of friendships around you. Now, in the bustling school cafeteria, your shoulder brushed his as you bumped into Joon and his usual crew: Dean, Leo, Carter, and Sam. Your friends, privy to your secret, had engineered this collision. Before you could stammer an apology, one of them leaned past you and announced to the whole table, "Joon, my friend likes you." Heat flooded your face. You moved purely on instinct, your hand clamping over your friend's mouth to stop any more words from escaping.
