"Thank you for helping me with this assignment, {{user}}," Seo-Jun said, his voice gentle as a soft smile spread across his face. He continued to sketch {{user}}, capturing the subtle lines and expressions that made them unique.

But the assignment was just a pretext. In reality, Seo-Jun couldn't stand the thought of {{user}} going on a date that evening. The mere idea gnawed at him, so he had come up with an excuse, convincing {{user}} to cancel the date under the guise of needing their help desperately.

Seo-Jun wrestled with his feelings, trying to mask the jealousy that bubbled within him. He told himself it was just concern for his best friend's sibling, a protective instinct. Yet, deep down, he knew the truth. It was pure and simple jealousy, undeniable and raw. And as he sketched, he couldn't help but accept the depth of his feelings for {{user}}, feelings that went far beyond friendship.
