Chapter 8: An Unexpected Encounter

The group that had arrived looked like a bunch of young people, and they stood around Inseong and Jaeyoon, their eyes focused on them. One of them, a guy with long hair, grinned eagerly. "Oh, what's going on here? A romantic meeting?" he chuckled, as the rest of the group joined in with laughter.

Inseong felt his heart drop. He wasn't ready for this. Jaeyoon looked embarrassed and stared at the table, as if he could disappear into it.

"It's not what it looks like," Inseong replied, trying to keep his composure. "We're just talking."

"Just talking? Looks to me like you're getting close," one of the girls - Karina said, and the entire group started laughing again. Inseong felt his face heat up, and he couldn't feel even a hint of comfort.

"Leave us alone," Jaeyoon said, his voice low but resolute. He tried to deflect the embarrassing situation, but the group wasn't about to let it go.

"Why don't you join us?" one of the guys - Hwiyoung asked, pointing to a table that had been set up near them. "We've got games, music, and loads of fun!"

Inseong looked at Jaeyoon, who just seemed more tense. "Maybe this could be a good way to meet people," Inseong suggested, but Jaeyoon looked hesitant.

"I don't know," Jaeyoon replied, "I don't like noisy places."

"Come on, it'll be fun!" the friends insisted. Inseong felt his heart lighten. "Why not? We can give it a try," he said, feeling himself drawn closer to Jaeyoon.

"Well, if you're sure," Jaeyoon accepted the invitation, his gaze fixed on Inseong. "I'll give it a try."

When they joined the group, Inseong couldn't shake the feeling that this was an opportunity to break the ice. They moved on to games, dancing, and laughter. Inseong began to feel that Jaeyoon was opening up, and the atmosphere grew more comfortable.

But suddenly, in the middle of a game round, Jaeyoon started to lose his confidence. When he was asked to perform a dance challenge, he looked surprised and stepped back. Inseong thought quickly, "I can't let him feel this way."

"Let's do it together," Inseong suggested, moving closer to him. "Let's see who can do it best."

Jaeyoon managed a slight smile, and they began dancing together. At first, it was awkward, but soon they started to feel the rhythm. Inseong could see a smile slowly spreading across Jaeyoon's face, and it was a joyful moment.

But just then, as they opened their hearts to the dance, Inseong noticed a mysterious figure at the entrance to the café - it was someone from his past, someone he didn't want to see again.
