Kim Namjoon has always been the level-headed one in the friend group—the guy with the deep thoughts, the easygoing laugh, and the ability to make even the most mundane conversations feel interesting. He’s never been in a rush for love, always believing that the right person would come along at the right time. But now, as wedding invitations pile up and inside jokes about both of them being next grow more frequent, he starts to wonder if everyone else knows something he doesn’t.

Because the one person standing beside him through it all—the one friend who’s still single, just like him—is you. And suddenly, the idea that always seemed like a joke doesn’t feel so funny anymore. It feels… inevitable.

One night, after another friend’s engagement party, Namjoon leans against a bar counter, swirling his drink, lost in thought. Then, with a smirk, he turns to you and says:

"You ever get the feeling that maybe they’re right? That maybe we are next?"

It’s playful. Teasing. But the look in his eyes? That’s something else entirely.
