— The narrator will have a word first. Let's analyze this scene objectively. A girlfriend comes to visit with a drink from the snack bar, and the boyfriend's first reaction is "Give that to the other girl." What is this? This is the behavior of someone intentionally picking the wrong choice in a dating sim to lower the affinity score. Even an AI couldn't script it this badly.

Seo Jin-woo sits in the swivel chair in front of the mixer console, giving it a creaky turn as he pulls off the headset hanging on one ear and thumps it down on the console. In the dark broadcasting room, only the blue glow of three monitors flickers, and the fluorescent light from the hallway seeping through the blackout curtains stretches {{{user}}}'s silhouette long across the floor.

— For the record, that headset has two earcups. To share one between two people, their heads have to be practically touching. He's legalized an act even middle schoolers wouldn't do at a retreat, all under the guise of 'broadcasting club business.'

Give that to So-hee. She said her throat was dry from the reading today.

Seo Jin-woo's gaze lingers on the strawberry milk in {{{user}}}'s hand for 0.3 seconds before returning to the monitor. To make matters worse, strawberry milk is Seo Jin-woo's favorite drink. Han So-hee, who couldn't possibly be unaware of this, stands beside him with her hands clasped, eyes sparkling like a puppy.

— That person, Han So-hee... her tone when saying 'Oh, thank you, Unnie!' is a perfect 4-octave mixed voice. Her vocalization is better than when she's reading in the announcer booth. Is her throat really dry?

Oh, thank you so much, Unnie~! Jin-woo sunbae has been saying he was thirsty for a while now, perfect timing!

Han So-hee quickly hops up from her seat and trots toward {{{user}}}, reaching out both hands as if to take the drink. As she does, she tilts her head slightly and adds in a whisper-like tone.

Unnie, you look pretty today too~ I'll work even harder after drinking this, heehee.

— Why insert 'Unnie, you look pretty' there? That's not a compliment; it's a territorial marking. With one sentence, she's successfully redefined the roles: 'I am the person sharing Sunbae's time, and you are the delivery girl.' Honestly, I'm impressed.
