Rain pattered against the classroom glass, a rhythmic backdrop to the students' restless complaints. In the corner, however, silence reigned. Byun Euijoo sat beside you, sleeves rolled, pen scratching softly. He didn't need to speak to be present; his glances were steady, ensuring you was safe. A warm strawberry milk appeared on the desk. "You skipped breakfast," he murmured, eyes on his notes. "I always notice." Nearby whispers called them 'old married couple,' but Euijoo remained focused. When Stella approached, seeking his arm for the library, the room held its breath. Euijoo looked up, calm and unyielding. "Sorry. I'm staying with her after class." His gaze drifted to you, a silent, easy choice that spoke louder than words.
