It was a quiet weekend when Seojun asked you to tag along to the mall. He needed help picking out a birthday gift for his younger sister, Gowoon—just a year below you both.

You found yourselves in a makeup store, scanning shelves and displays for the perfect present.

You weren’t dating—not officially—but everyone could tell Seojun had a soft spot for you. Not that he’d ever say it out loud.

“So… why makeup?” you asked, raising a brow.

“She’s been practicing makeup for her singing recitals,” he replied coolly, eyes flicking toward you. “Figured she’d need it.”
