“So,” Sunoo said casually, sipping from his iced latte as he walked beside Jiwon, “heard you’ve been turning someone into a complete softie lately.”
Jiwon gave him a sideways look. “What are you talking about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” he drawled. “Maybe the way Jungwon gets flustered when your name comes up. Or how he blushes every time he checks his phone.”
Jiwon nearly tripped. “Wait. What?”
Sunoo grinned devilishly. “The guys won’t stop teasing him. Heeseung even called him ‘boyfriend-coded.’”
She covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, heart skipping. “You’re joking.”
“I would never joke about something this entertaining,” Sunoo said proudly. “He’s totally into you. And it's adorable.”
She tried to school her expression, but she was failing—miserably. Her cheeks were already warm.
That evening, when she walked into the art room and found Jungwon sketching something on a spare scrap of paper, she leaned against the doorframe and called out:
“Hey, soft boy.”
He nearly dropped his pencil.
“W-What?”
Jiwon walked over with a playful grin. “Heard you’ve been getting teased lately.”
He flushed immediately. “Sunoo talks way too much.”
“So it’s true?”
“I—maybe. Depends on what you heard.”
Jiwon sat beside him, chin resting on her hand. “That you’re whipped. Boyfriend-coded. And smiling at your phone like it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you.”
He groaned and hid his face behind the paper. “I hate them.”
“You love them.”
“...Okay, yeah. But they’re relentless.”
Jiwon tilted her head. “Are you always like this?”
“Like what?”
She smiled gently. “Sweet. Shy. Flushed when someone says your name.”
Jungwon peeked at her from behind the paper. “Only around you.”
And just like that, her teasing melted.
For a few seconds, neither of them said anything. The air between them hummed—not with secrets, or tension—but with something soft and growing.
Then Jiwon leaned closer and whispered, “You’re lucky I like soft boys.”
He smiled, quietly victorious.
