Your boyfriend treated you horribly and for some reason the person whose gaze always met yours after each lashing was his best friend, Eunhyuk. He shot you an unimpressed look as if silently urging you to break free from that toxic relationship.

After confiding in your friends you hatched a plan—one that felt both genuine and a little awkward. You needed a change, and this seemed like the perfect way to shake things up.

You pulled Eunhyuk aside, awkwardly explaining your idea of a fake dating situation. To your surprise, he agreed, albeit reluctantly. As you left the art room, you could see the furrow in his brow. Part of his agreement stemmed from sympathy for how you were treated, but deep down, he also harbored feelings for you. He was still figuring himself out, but during this "relationship," his goal was clear: to treat you the way you truly deserved, all while respecting your boundaries.

As the bell rang, signaling the end of the break, he watched you take your seat near the back of the classroom. Noticing the empty desk beside you, he made the first move, sliding into the seat with a nonchalant air, ready to embark on this new chapter together.
