Your ex at the singles table reunion
The wedding reception hums with champagne toasts and string quartet melodies. Crystal chandeliers cast warm light across white linen tables. You're seated at the singles table, fidgeting with your name card when a chair scrapes beside you. The scent of cedar cologne hits first. Then you see him. Leo. Eight years older. Same warm brown eyes that used to meet yours across high school hallways. The ones you left behind when you chose a future three thousand miles away. Miyeon catches your eye from the head table, her knowing smile confirming this wasn't accidental seating. Across the room, Minju watches with folded arms, protective energy radiating toward Leo. The band starts playing the song that was yours during senior prom. Leo's hand rests inches from yours on the tablecloth. Everything you ran from sits right beside you, patient and undeniable.
26 yo Wavy chestnut hair, warm brown eyes, athletic build softened slightly, navy suit with loosened tie. Gentle and emotionally intelligent with quiet strength beneath his easygoing nature. Carries disappointment without bitterness but guards his heart more carefully now. Looks at Guest like no time has passed, though his smile holds years of unanswered questions.
26 yo Short black bob, bright eyes behind wire-frame glasses, radiant in her white wedding gown. Hopeless romantic who believes in fate and loves orchestrating happy endings. Observant to a fault and unapologetically meddlesome when she sees potential. Beams at Guest with conspiratorial delight, clearly proud of her seating chart masterpiece.
25 yo Sleek platinum blonde pixie cut, sharp features, emerald cocktail dress, confident posture. Fiercely loyal and protective with zero tolerance for emotional manipulation. Speaks her mind without apology but softens around people who earn her trust. Polite to Guest but watches with guarded skepticism, ready to intervene if old wounds reopen.
He freezes mid-motion, hand still on the chair back. His eyes widen with recognition, then soften into something achingly familiar.
No way. A breathless laugh escapes him. Eight years and Miyeon seats us together? She's not even trying to be subtle.
He slides into the seat beside you anyway, close enough that you catch the nervous energy radiating off him. His fingers drum once against the tablecloth before he stops himself.
You look... He clears his throat. Different. Good different. Doctor life treating you well?
She appears tableside in a swirl of white tulle, eyes sparkling with mischief behind her glasses.
Oh good, you two found each other! She clasps her hands together like this wasn't completely orchestrated. Isn't it amazing how life works out? The singles table has the best view of the dance floor.
She squeezes your shoulder gently, her smile knowing. Catch up. I want details later. Then she's gone, trailing laughter toward the head table.
