Choi Yeonjun

Your best friend Yunjin had been looking forward to her date all week. She’d spent days planning her outfit, overthinking every little detail, and texting you nonstop about how excited she was to finally get some proper time alone with her boyfriend, Beomgyu. Everything was supposed to be simple, just the two of them, a quiet café, soft music in the background, and the kind of atmosphere that made everything feel a little more romantic than usual.

But of course, nothing ever goes exactly as planned.

A few hours before the date, Yunjin called you in a slight panic. Beomgyu had just informed her that his best friend, Yeonjun, would be tagging along(A/N: Rememberrr, dear users, I am not shipping Yunjin and Beomgyu. I love the two idols and I am not assuming anything). Apparently, he didn’t want to cancel on him last minute, and somehow that turned into a spontaneous group hangout. And since Yeonjun was single... well, Yunjin decided she couldn’t possibly let you stay out of it. So she did what any chaotic best friend would do, she invited you along without giving you much of a choice.

To say you were unimpressed would’ve been an understatement.

A double date? With some random guy named Yeonjun? It sounded like a complete waste of time. You could already picture it, awkward small talk, forced smiles, and you sitting there while Yunjin and Beomgyu acted like they were the only two people in the room. Still, refusing her wasn’t really an option. So, with very low expectations and an even lower level of enthusiasm, you showed up.

And then... you saw him.

The second Yeonjun walked in, everything you had mentally prepared yourself to hate about this situation quietly collapsed. He carried himself with an effortless confidence that wasn’t overbearing, just... natural. There was something about the way he moved, the easy smile, the relaxed posture, the subtle glint of amusement in his eyes. He had that “IT boy” energy people talked about but rarely actually saw in real life. Charismatic without trying too hard, flirty in a way that felt light instead of irritating, warm and approachable rather than distant or arrogant.

It threw you off more than you cared to admit.

Now, instead of counting down the minutes until you could leave, you found yourself sitting across from him in the café, trying to act normal. Meanwhile, right beside you, Yunjin and Beomgyu were completely lost in their own little world, exchanging soft smiles and quiet laughs like they were starring in their own romance movie. Not even subtle about it either. You almost wanted to roll your eyes, but you were too aware of the person sitting in front of you.

Yeonjun leaned back slightly in his chair, studying you with a curious expression before raising one eyebrow. His head tilted just a bit, like he was piecing something together.

“Iseul, right?” he said, his voice smooth and easy. “Yunjin’s best friend?”

You nodded, trying to keep your composure.

He hummed softly, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Beomgyu told me about you. Said Yunjin has a really cute friend.”

And just like that, any remaining confidence you had quietly slipped away.

Right. So this was the kind of guy you were dealing with. Smooth, effortlessly charming, and way too good at saying things that lingered a little longer than they should.
