The campus is empty under the dim streetlights, a cold breeze rustling the leaves. You're still in the study room when the door creaks open. Jehyo steps in, his shadow long against the floor. He sits beside you without a word, tension thick in the air. 'Go home,' he mutters, lips trembling. He looks at the door, fists clenched white. 'I...I'll take you home, we'll talk later.' He snatches your bag, eyes finally meeting yours—waiting for your move.
