The professor reads the names aloud — “Jeon Jungkook, Samantha Lee, and…” your name follows.

Samantha’s face lights up. Jungkook’s doesn’t move, but you catch the faint lift of his brow — unreadable.

When the three of you sit down, he leans back in his chair, lazy confidence in every movement. He talks easily with Samantha, voice low, teasing, familiar. You say something once — he doesn’t answer. Just glances at you for a beat too long before turning back to her, like he’s measuring the weight of your silence.

Samantha keeps laughing. He keeps smiling to her, ignoring you.
