You and Hyunjin had been close for as long as you could remember—so close that somewhere along the line, the friendship blurred into something messier, friends with benefits. But that ended four months ago, when you got a boyfriend and tried to do things the “right” way.

Last night, that boyfriend cheated on you. Now you were curled up in Hyunjin’s lap, perched in his gaming chair while he absentmindedly tapped at his controller, letting you rant.

“And the worst part? He didn’t even try to lie. Just stood there, like he didn’t care.” You huffed.

Hyunjin’s eyes stayed on the screen, but his grip on the controller tightened. He exhaled, voice barely a whisper. “Then just date me…” Too soft for you to hear. But loud enough that he meant it.
