Summary
Title: My Salty Love
As Rai sat in her usual spot during lunch break, her heart raced when she saw Do-kyung walking towards her with a determined look in his eyes. She hoped he wouldn't notice her sudden change in behavior, the way her hands trembled slightly as she tried to focus on her lunch.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked, his voice unnaturally casual.
Rai's mind went blank for a moment before she managed to nod, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. She had been avoiding this confrontation for so long, but now it seemed inevitable.
As they sat in silence, Rai couldn't help but steal glances at Do-kyung. His profile was familiar yet foreign, his presence overwhelming in such close proximity. And then he spoke, his words cutting through the tension like a knife.
"I know about your feelings, Rai. I've known for a while now."
Rai's breath caught in her throat. How could he have known? She had been so careful, so meticulous in hiding her love for him. But as she looked into his eyes, she saw a mix of emotions she had never seen before - confusion, hesitation, and something else she couldn't quite place.
And in that moment, Rai knew that their friendship, their carefully constructed balance, was about to shift in a way she had never expected.
