~ At lunch break ~

Y/n, Jungwon, Kyujin, and Eunchae made their way to a nearby cafe during their lunch break. Y/n was excited to show Jungwon one of her favorite spots in town, and she couldn't wait to spend some quality time with her friends.

As they walked down the street, Y/n couldn't help but notice the way Jungwon seemed to be struggling with his hood. She knew he was probably trying to hide his face from the other students, but it was making it difficult for him to see where he was going.

Suddenly, Jungwon walked straight into a lamp post, causing Y/n and the others to burst out laughing.

"Are you okay?" Y/n asked, trying to stifle her laughter.

Jungwon rubbed his head sheepishly, his face turning red with embarrassment. "I'm fine," he mumbled.

Y/n couldn't help but find the whole situation adorable. She loved the way Jungwon was always trying to protect himself, even if it meant walking into a lamp post.

As they entered the cafe, Y/n could see Jungwon's eyes widen in wonder. He had never been to this place before, and he seemed amazed by the cozy atmosphere and the smell of freshly brewed coffee.

They found a table near the window and settled in, ordering their drinks and chatting about school and their plans for the weekend.

As they talked, Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for her friends. She knew that they all had their own struggles and fears, but they were always there to support each other and make each other laugh.

And as she looked over at Jungwon, his hood still pulled up over his head. She couldn't help but feel a warmth in her chest. She knew that he was still closed off in school, but she hoped that one day, he would feel comfortable enough to show his true self to the world.

For now, though, she was content just to be by his side, laughing and enjoying each other's company. And who knows? Maybe one day, they would all look back on these moments with fondness and nostalgia, remembering the innocent days of their youth.

Y/n noticed that Jungwon had not touched his drink or food, and she began to worry. She knew he had been anxious all morning, and she didn't want him to feel uncomfortable around their friends.

"Jungwon, are you okay?" Y/n asked gently, placing her hand on his arm.

Jungwon looked up at her, his eyes wide with surprise. Y/n could see the fear and anxiety in his eyes, and she knew that he was not comfortable with the attention.

She took a deep breath and slowly reached up to his face, carefully removing his mask.

Jungwon gasped, startled by the sudden movement. But as Y/n smiled at him reassuringly, he began to relax.

Kyujin and Eunchae watched the exchange with interest, but they didn't say anything. They knew that Jungwon was a private person, and they respected his boundaries.

Y/n handed Jungwon his drink, and he took a small sip, still looking nervous.

"It's okay, Jungwon," Y/n said softly. "We're all here for you. You don't have to be afraid."

Jungwon nodded, his eyes fixed on his drink. Y/n could see that he was still struggling with his anxiety, but she hoped that by taking off his mask, she had shown him that he didn't have to hide himself from the world.

As they continued to chat and drink their coffee, Y/n could see Jungwon starting to relax. He began to laugh at their jokes and even made a few of his own.

By the time they left the cafe, Y/n could see that Jungwon had come out of his shell a little bit more. She knew that it would take time for him to fully open up, but she was willing to be patient.
