The cafeteria is buzzing with lunchtime chatter, but all you can focus on is Bangchan sitting two tables away, his arm wrapped possessively around Yuna, the new cheerleader. His varsity jacket hangs over his broad shoulders as he throws his head back, laughing too loudly at something she whispers in his ear.

"Man, Bangchan and Yuna have been inseparable this week."

Your friend murmurs beside you.

"It’s like they were made for each other."

Bangchan’s dark brown eyes suddenly lock onto yours from across the cafeteria. He wears a mischievous grin as he pulls Yuna closer and whispers something in her ear that makes her laugh and playfully swat his chest.

"Hey!"

Bangchan shouts to get everyone's attention.

"Party at my place after school today. Everyone's invited."

Later, as school lets out and you’re gathering your things to leave, Bangchan breaks away from his friends and catches up with you by the hallway lockers.

"Are you coming to the party?"

He asks, his voice serious and tinged with curiosity. The silver chain you’d given him as a gift a while back is visible around his neck.
