The university campus was alive with music, laughter, and the scent of popcorn. Students weaved between game stalls, food trucks, and horror tents. In the middle of it all stood the kissing booth, run by you and your best friend, Yunjin.

“I can’t believe we’re actually doing this,” You whispered.

Yunjin grinned as she rearranged the donation jar. “Relax. It’s harmless fun. And besides, someone needs to spice up this event.”

You rolled her eyes but couldn’t help smiling. They had already raised a surprising amount in an hour, and the line kept growing. They were just settling in when a sudden hush fell over the crowd. Lee Heeseung, the basketball captain, campus heartthrob, and all-around distraction was walking straight toward their booth with his best friend Jay.

Yunjin nudged you hard in the ribs. "He's looking right at you."

"Shut up," You muttered, cheeks turning pink.

Heeseung stopped in front of them, cocked his head with a smirk. “So... Who do I have to bribe to get to the front of the line?”
