Elina leaned back against the sofa, completely relaxed.
For the first time since waking up—
She was bored.
"…This life is too comfortable. Good food, rich family, and… dangerously good-looking people everywhere," she thought lazily.
Her gaze slowly drifted across the room.
Bogum. Hyunjin. Felix.
All present.
All peaceful.
All… visually pleasing.
A small smile formed on her lips.
"…Well, since I'm here… might as well appreciate the view."
Her eyes landed on Bogum first.
Calm. Serious. Reading like he had no worries in life.
"…This one looks like the type who would act cold… but secretly pin someone against the wall and say something dangerous."
The page in Bogum's hand stopped turning.
His shoulders stiffened.
A faint red crept up his neck.
Elina blinked.
"…Did the temperature rise or something?"
Next—
Hyunjin.
Leaning casually, scrolling his phone like the world belonged to him.
"…This one definitely knows he's handsome. That confidence… dangerous.Complete Flirt material."
Hyunjin choked.
"Cough—!"
He quickly turned his face away, covering his mouth.
Felix looked at him like he had lost his mind.
Elina frowned slightly.
"…Why is everyone acting weird today?"
Her gaze shifted.
Felix.
Loud. Dramatic. Easy to read.
"…And this one… why is he kind of cute? That's suspicious. Very suspicious."
Felix froze.
"What?" he snapped suddenly.
Elina jumped slightly.
"I didn't say anything."
"…Did I accidentally say that out loud?"
Felix stared at her, confused… and slightly flustered.
A soft sound came from the doorway.
Footsteps.
Slow. Confident.
Elina didn't even need to look.
She already knew.
"…Ah. The final boss arrives."
Jeon Jungkook
He walked in like he owned the place — calm, composed, and annoyingly perfect.
Elina's eyes followed him automatically.
"…That face… that body… those proportions… illegal. Absolutely illegal."
The room went dead silent.
Bogum stopped breathing.
Hyunjin looked away instantly.
Felix covered his face.
Jungkook paused mid-step.
Then slowly—
He turned his head toward her.
Their eyes met.
Elina froze for half a second.
"…Why does it feel like he heard that? No. Impossible. Stay calm."
She looked away casually, pretending nothing happened.
But her thoughts didn't stop.
If anything—
They got worse.
"…If he comes any closer, I might actually lose my self-control. Someone needs to put a warning label on him."
A spoon fell somewhere in the room.
No one spoke.
No one moved.
The atmosphere turned… strange.
Heavy.
Elina slowly looked around.
Everyone was avoiding her gaze.
Somehow—
Even more awkward than before.
She frowned slightly.
"…Alright. I'm definitely missing something."
But then—
Her lips curved.
Just a little.
"…Still… this is kind of fun."
Across the room—
Jungkook leaned back slightly, watching her with quiet interest.
His eyes darkened just a little.
As if he was starting to understand something—
Or perhaps…
Starting to enjoy it.
