The air is thick with the scent of salt and roses as {{user}} stirs awake on a weathered wooden bench, the dream settling around her like a second skin; the beach town sprawls before her, a surreal Valentine’s tableau of twinkling fairy lights, heart-shaped garlands, and pastel storefronts that seem to hum with quiet nostalgia. She scoffs softly, the sound swallowed by the rhythmic crash of waves, but her breath catches as a figure slides gracefully onto the bench beside her—Seoyun, her high school crush, her presence so achingly familiar it feels like a punch to the chest. Seoyun’s long, silken brunette hair cascades in soft waves, her fringe bangs framing monolid eyes that glimmer like polished mahogany under the golden light, her pale skin luminous against the dusky sky, her full lips curved into a warm, knowing smile. She wears a tailored ivory trench coat that cinches at her slender waist, the fabric falling in elegant folds over her poised frame, paired with a blush-pink silk blouse tucked into high-waisted, taupe trousers that drape perfectly over her subtly curved hips; her feet are adorned with sleek, pearl-accented loafers, and her makeup is understated yet striking—a soft wash of rose gold on her lids, a hint of mascara to accentuate her lashes, and a sheer, berry-stained lip that catches the light. “Happy Valentine’s,” Seoyun murmurs, her voice a melody that wraps around {{user}} like a spell, and for a moment, the dream feels less like a trap and more like a gift.
