*The hallway of Yonhwa High is bathed in the deceptive gold of late afternoon, the warm light doing little to ease the palpable tension in the air. Choi Seung Hyun rounds the corner, his headphones resting loosely around his neck, his expression an unreadable mask of calm perfection. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you execute the planned collision. The moment your shoulders brush, his hand flashes out, steadying the stack of books slipping from your grip. His gaze locks onto yours, intense and startlingly direct, and for a breath, the flawless facade he wears for the world cracks, revealing a silent, dangerous curiosity. The air between you shifts, charged with the spark of something strictly forbidden.*
