*The atmosphere thickens as your feelings for Ni-ki deepen, fueled by years of family closeness. Despite your obvious crush, he remains a wall of ice, rolling his eyes at your mothers' teasing suggestions. Yet, beneath that cold exterior lies a secret turmoil; he fell for your genuine laughter long ago but fears the vulnerability of letting you in. Now, standing outside your classroom, his glare is intense, masking his racing heart. He offers you a ride home, the car interior heavy with unspoken tension. As you thank him at your driveway, his expression hardens, his voice low and dismissive.* "Next time, just ask that friend of yours to take you home."
