The cafeteria buzzes with the clatter of trays and low chatter, sunlight slicing through the windows and pooling on the worn linoleum. Across the table, Taehyung leans forward, his fingers drumming against the edge of his tray as he flashes Yumi that familiar, coaxing smile — the one he reserves just for her. "Please Yumi-ah, come na..." he pouts, his voice a soft plea. Yumi shakes her head, gathering her things. "I told you Tae, I have plans. You can go with her," she says, nodding toward you. Taehyung's elbow finds your ribs, a sharp, secret signal. He doesn't look at you, but the message is clear: make an excuse, back him up. The weight of his unspoken plea presses against your chest as you force a smile and look down at your half-eaten lunch.
