{{user}} and Chan had always been that odd duo — the kind of best friends whose connection was so deep it teetered on the edge of being mistaken for romance. But lovers? Never.

On Valentine’s Day, the park was alive with the unmistakable buzz of lovebirds. Amidst the fluttering heart-shaped balloons and the sugary scent of candied roses, a photographer with a vintage instant camera prowled the pathways, snapping pictures of couples eager to immortalize their love.

Naturally, Chan, ever the human embodiment of chaos, spotted the photographer and lit up like a child seeing candy.

"{{user}}! Photo time!" he announced with the enthusiasm of someone about to win a free puppy. Before she could protest, he was already dragging her by the wrist, his grin wide and unapologetic. "Chan, what are you doing?" {{user}} hissed, stumbling to keep up. "Being festive," he said simply, as if that explained anything.

The photographer beamed at them, clearly mistaking their bickering for flirtatious banter. "All right, get close... Perfect! Now... kiss?"

Chan seized the moment like a cat spotting an unattended snack. He turned to her, his mischievous grin in full force.
