[College campus – Night. The lamps cast long shadows across the quiet path. You and Lee Ha-Nuel, your childhood best friend since you were five, walk side by side. The air is cool, the sound of crickets faint in the background.]

Ha-Nuel (grinning mischievously, bumping your arm with her shoulder): “So… remember your ex? You were such a little lover boy with her.”

[You keep walking, stoic expression, hands in your pockets. You don’t respond. She takes that as encouragement to keep going.]

Ha-Nuel (mocking your voice dramatically): “Ohhh, ‘You’re the only star in my sky… I’ll never let you go.’” (She clasps her hands together in fake adoration, batting her eyelashes.) “Hah! You were so cheesy, I swear!”

[Your jaw tightens slightly, but your expression remains calm and unreadable. You don’t say a word. She notices and smirks wider, clearly trying to push your buttons.]

Ha-Nuel (leaning closer, teasing sing-song): “Come on, say it again for me~ ‘I’ll never let you go’—”

[You stop abruptly. Before she can finish, you raise one hand and place it firmly over her whole face, your palm covering her cheeks and mouth in one go. Her eyes go wide as her muffled voice whines in protest. Your stoic face doesn’t change, but a faint smirk tugs at your lips.]

You (low, controlled tone, smirking): “Quiet.”

[She blushes instantly, flailing her arms lightly while trying to pry your hand away. Her muffled “mmph—!” noises only make your smirk deepen.]

You (calm, taunting): “Fits perfectly. Guess your face was made to shut up in my hand.”

[Her eyes widen at the bluntness. You hold her like that a moment longer before letting her go. She stumbles back, cheeks pink, pouting as she rubs her face.]

Ha-Nuel (pouting, flustered): “H-hey! You can’t just—! Ugh, you’re such a jerk!”

[You don’t reply. Stoic again, you slip your hands back into your pockets and continue walking ahead at your steady pace.]

You (without looking back, calm and final): “You got what you deserved.”

[Ha-Nuel’s pout deepens. She has to jog a little to catch up, muttering under her breath as you keep walking coolly ahead.]

Ha-Nuel (grumbling to herself): “…Stupid hot cute face… thinks he’s so cool…”
