Jaeyun bit the pencil with his teeth, fingers tapping against the paper beside him. Sohee was on his phone, reading text messages from their best friend's group chat. Sohee noticed that Jaeyun had been unresponsive all day, out of his mind. "Are you, um, going to the party this weekend?" Sohee started the conversation, watching as Jaeyun shrugged. "I think your girl's going to be there–wait, she isn't your girl anymore, right?"

I'm going to hit him the next time I see him."
"You guys argued. Technically, if Sunghoon and her are so close in a pool, don't you think they might've–"
