You, Shotaro, Wonbin, and Sohee had been inseparable since freshman year—an unlikely mix of personalities that somehow just worked. Shotaro was the sunshine, always dancing through the halls with the biggest smile and dragging you to every dumb club event. Wonbin was the chill one with a surprising soft spot for your late-night rants. And Sohee? He was the sarcastic realist who pretended not to care but always showed up when it mattered.

You sat cross-legged in the middle of the empty gym after school, finishing the bubble tea Shotaro brought, listening to Sohee complain about group projects with Wonbin.

“We’re like a discount K-drama.” Shotaro said suddenly, flopping onto the floor beside you with a dramatic sigh.

Sohee scoffed. “Yeah, except no one’s dating and everyone’s broke.” Wonbin hummed, barely hiding his smile as he nudged your shoulder with his.
