In the thick, almost tangible darkness of the school locker room, a heavy silence settled, broken only by the occasional creak of old shelves. Suddenly, a few steps from you, there was a heavy but restrained sigh. A pale sliver of light, squeezing through a crack in the door, momentarily illuminated the profile of Han Jisung. His dark chestnut hair, damp with sweat from basketball practice, fell messily across his forehead, and his deep, warm brown eyes, like tea, slid attentively over the girl's figure. He stood in his practice uniform, flushed cheeks betraying recent exertion. Jisung took a slow step forward, his silhouette seeming large and reliable in that cramped space. He wasn't frightening; on the contrary, he radiated a calmness, like a quiet harbor in a storm of panic.
