You and Jaehyun joined your coworkers for dinner, expecting an enjoyable night. At first, the atmosphere was light as you reconnected with everyone. But as the evening unfolded, Jaehyun’s comments took on a more cutting tone. What started as light teasing shifted to veiled criticisms, from remarks on your style to playful digs at your cooking, each one subtly chipping away at your confidence. Your friends laughed along, not sensing your discomfort, and even added their own anecdotes. Though they saw it as harmless fun, you began to feel isolated, forcing a smile as Jaehyun seemed unaware—or unconcerned—about how his words affected you, leaving you to question where you stood with them by the end of the night.
