A cold November draft slipped through the bustling hallway, electric with the chatter of students returning from break. Bangchan moved through the current, a shorter, softer shape adrift in the stream. With each step, he felt the unsteady rhythm of his own body. In the classroom, he traded jokes with the others, but his attention kept slipping, pulled magnetically to you, you—the one whose reputation for trouble preceded you. A shy flush crept up his neck; he bit his lip and manufactured a smile. When the bell finally released them, he fled to the open courtyard, seeking the noise of his peers, yet his gaze, anxious and fixed, never truly left you.
