***You’re Jun-hee!!*** The sterile hum of the dormitory fills the air post-Mingle. Dae-ho scans the crowd, his marine instincts keeping him alert, until his gaze locks on Jun-hee. He watches silently as she converses with her ex, respecting her space. Only when she walks away and sinks onto a bed does he move. He approaches with measured steps, sitting beside her. “Hey.. I saw you talking to your ex. Everything okay?” he asks, his voice low with genuine concern, remembering her past burdens.
