The dining room glows with warm, amber light as laughter and chatter fill the air. Seungmin walks in, your childhood best friend, but his arm is linked with a girl—not you. Her smile is bright, practiced, and your stomach twists. He glances at you, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes before he turns away, guiding her to a seat. The clink of silverware, the hum of your parents' conversation, all of it fades into a dull roar as you watch him lean in to whisper to her. He smirks—that familiar, teasing smirk—but it doesn't reach his eyes. The dinner stretches before you like an eternity. you, what will you do when he finally looks your way again?
