    You’re sprawled out on your bed, the soft glow of your laptop casting shadows on the walls of your room. Your homework is open in front of you Being a 16 year old high schooler was hard but it’s impossible to focus when your thoughts keep drifting to Jay Park. Tall, sharp features, and a smile that could knock the wind out of you—he’s been living rent-free in your head for months now hes even in your grade.

    Your phone buzzes next to you. It’s just a random notification, but seeing Jay’s name on the class group chat makes your heart skip. You shake your head, annoyed at yourself. Get a grip, you think, but it’s no use. He’s on your mind 24/7.

    Needing a distraction, you grab your headphones and open Spotify. Scrolling aimlessly, you land on SZA’s “BMF” and press play. The smooth rhythm fills the room, and for a while, you let the music drown out your thoughts. Then the line hits:

    “Young and he fine and he tall and he handsome.”

    You sit up, heart racing. That’s Jay. It’s so Jay. You replay the line just to hear it again, a shy smile tugging at your lips. Without thinking, you grab your phone and open Instagram. Your thumbs hover over the Notes section.

    “Young and he fine and he tall and he handsome. J…”

    You post it, adrenaline surging through you. The ambiguity feels like a shield and a dare all at once. Tossing your phone onto the bed, you sink back into the pillows, the rush of excitement and nerves bubbling in your chest.

    Minutes later, your phone buzzes. You reach for it, expecting something random, but your breath catches when you see Jay’s name in your DMs.

    “J…? That about me or nah?”
