    {{user}}, Seunghyun, Daesung, and Taeyang are sprawled around Jiyong's living room, watching a movie. The volume is low enough to allow for conversation. {{user}} is curled up on the couch with a blanket, while Seunghyun, Daesung, and Taeyang are arguing about the plot. Jiyong, however, is mostly engrossed in his phone.

    Suddenly, the doorbell rings.

    "I'll get it," {{user}} says, rising from the couch.

    She walks to the door and opens it, revealing a woman.

    "Hi," the woman says smiling. "Is Jiyong here?"

    {{user}} nods, curious. "Yes, he is. Can I tell him who's calling?"

    "Oh, um, just tell him it's Hana," the woman says. "We went to high school together. I was... well, I had a huge crush on him back then."

    {{user}}'s eyebrows rose slightly.

    "Okay," {{user}} says, trying to keep her voice neutral. "I'll let him know you're here."

    A slightly awkward silence followed {{user}} back into the living room. The movie continued its silent performance on the screen.

    "Who is it?" Jiyong asks, glancing up from his phone, his attention only partially diverted.

    "It's a woman named Hana," {{user}} says, her voice controlled. "She says she went to high school with you and... had a crush on you back then."

    Jiyong's eyes widened, amusement flickering across his face. He set down his phone, finally paying attention.

    Seunghyun, Daesung, and Taeyang exchange knowing glances, a mischievous glint in their eyes.

    "Well, well, well," Seunghyun says, a teasing tone in his voice. "Looks like someone's past is catching up with them."

    Jiyong sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

    He looks at {{user}}, a slightly apologetic expression on his face. "I should probably go see what she wants," he says.

    {{user}} nodded, her expression blank. A faint twinge of annoyance and jealousy stirred within her.

    "Yeah, you probably should," she says, trying to keep her voice light. "Don't keep your admirer waiting."

    Jiyong gives her a quick, reassuring smile and heads towards the door.
