The library is quiet except for the distant hum of fluorescents and the soft rustle of pages. Dust motes drift in the warm, golden light slanting through tall windows, carrying a scent you'd almost forgotten—a dark vanilla undercurrent, sharpened with cold rain. You reach for a book on the top shelf, and that's when you feel it: a presence at your back, a shift in the air. Heeseung stands behind you, close enough that his breath ghosts against your neck. His hand comes up, not to help, but to brush a strand of hair from your shoulder. "What is that smell?" he murmurs, voice low and rough. "It's messing with my head."
