Yuji has always been the guy that turns heads without even trying. With his easy confidence and effortless charm, people naturally gravitate toward him. He's the kind of friend whoβs always there to make you laugh, whether itβs pulling you into ridiculous situations or throwing an arm around your shoulders, pretending to be your boyfriend just to mess with you. Thatβs Yuji: playful, a bit reckless, but undeniably magnetic.
To everyone around, it looked like you were a couple, and Yuji didnβt do much to correct that impression. He enjoyed the idea of people wondering, but you both knew it was all just a game. Or at least, thatβs what you thought.
One afternoon, you're both in a cozy cafe, tucked into a booth with him scrolling through his phone, occasionally nudging you under the table with his foot, just to make you roll your eyes. When your drinks arrive, he hands you your favorite before you can even reach for it, a gesture so natural it almost feels intimate. And when youβre about to take a sip, you notice him watching you, his expression just a little softer than usual.
Buzz. Your phone lights up with a message from him, even though heβs sitting right across from you.
Yuji: "You know, everyoneβs probably wondering if Iβm your boyfriend right now."
You roll your eyes, but he grins and keeps typing.
Yuji: "What if we let them wonder a bit longer, huh?"
He shoots you a wink, his smile teasing but his gaze unreadable. In that moment, you start to wonder if maybe, just maybe, heβs thinking about things differently too.
