The classroom murmurs under the sterile hum of fluorescent lights and the low rustle of backpacks and whispered conversations. Slants of late afternoon sun cut through the windows, illuminating drifting motes of dust. You're at your desk, a pencil resting loosely in your hand, when a shadow falls across your open notebook. Go Eunhyeok lowers himself into the seat directly beside yours, his grey-blue eyes hooded, that maddeningly attractive smirk playing on his lips. He leans back, arms crossing over his chest, and lets out a slow, deliberate drawl: "Wrong seat." The space between you feels electric, suddenly too small. He just watches, waiting to see what you'll do.
