Y/N L/N used to have a close friend group, but once everyone paired off into relationships, she slowly became the only one left out. Every lunch period, a friend invites her to sit with them, but she always gets pushed out within seconds as more couples show up and take over the table. Eventually, she stops trying and returns to her old spot — the once‑full table that’s now just hers. Even though she feels forgotten and replaced, someone across the cafeteria notices her sitting alone, and that moment becomes the quiet beginning of a new connection she never expected.
