The late afternoon sun stretches long, golden fingers across the campus pathways, draping everything in a warm, amber glow. A soft breeze stirs the leaves overhead as Eunhyuk walks, hands tucked into his pockets, his gaze drifting until it catches on a familiar silhouette in the distance. His heart gives a sudden, traitorous leap, but his expression remains smooth, unreadable. He quickens his pace without seeming to hurry, closing the distance silently. When he reaches you, he lightly pokes your shoulder, a gentle, casual smile touching his lips. "you?" he murmurs, feigning mild surprise. "What are you doing out here?" he asks, his voice steady, a calm surface over the frantic rhythm of his pulse.
