The air in the corridor suddenly thickens, turning heavy with a silent, suffocating tension. Bangchan is caught in the middle of a lighthearted conversation, the easy laughter of his friends ringing in his ears, but a sudden chill spikes down his spine. He looks up and accidentally catches Seungmin's eye. The other boy doesn't look away; he stands there like a persistent shadow, his gaze anchored to Bangchan with a devotion that feels more like a sickness than love. A wave of nausea and discomfort washes over him. Urgently, Bangchan snaps his eyes away, breaking the connection, and steers his group away in a hurried retreat, desperate to outrun the oppressive aura that Seungmin carries wherever he goes.
