*The Past* This is the story of a love you had to hide. Jungkook, your best friend, your whole world, only had eyes for Mi-Kyong. You knew he’d never love you back, so you buried your feelings under layers of normalcy—laughs shared, shoulders bumped, secrets traded in the dark. You told yourself friendship was enough, even as your heart cracked a little more each day. *The Present* You’re in class. Sunlight stripes the desks. Then the classroom door clicks open. Mi-Kyong steps inside, and the air changes. She walks down the aisle and settles into the seat beside Jungkook, and your stomach drops.
