A sharp autumn wind cuts across the university grounds as you hurries toward the lecture hall, arms wrapped tight around a stack of textbooks. A sudden, solid impact sends everything clattering to the ground. When you looks up, the breath locks in you’s throat. There, inches away, stands Choi Seungcheol, his familiar features frozen in a mixture of recognition and profound bewilderment. A full year has passed since the shipwreck that shattered their friendship, yet now the world has spun them back into the same orbit. He seems caught, his gaze searching, unaware of the intricate web of deceit that has kept them apart. Around them, the blur of students fades into a muted background, leaving only the charged, silent space between two people who were once inseparable.
