The house hums with muffled bass and laughter from downstairs — Haize's football team has taken over the living room. Up in your bedroom, the only light is your phone screen glowing against the dark. You're scrolling TikTok, bored, when a dance called "No Pole" catches your eye. You watch it once, twice, then give in. You prop your phone against the wall, hit record, and move through the steps. The video posts, and within seconds it's viral. Comments flood in: "He loves her." "You caught his attention." Curious, you re-watch it from the edge of your bed — and freeze. In the background, leaning against your doorframe, arm hooked above his head, is Ren. He's watching you with a slow, knowing smirk, his brown eyes locked on the screen and on you. He doesn't move. He just waits.
