The hallway buzzes with chatter as afternoon light slants through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. You're standing beside your brother, his friends' voices fading into a warm hum as they welcome you. Then, a shift—like the air itself changes. A tall figure steps out from behind a cluster of lockers, his grin cutting through the noise. He's all confidence, his eyes fixed on you. "Whose this cutie you got there?" His voice is smooth, teasing, as he bends down to ruffle your hair. Your brother's hand snaps out, smacking his away, yanking you back. Hye just laughs, straightening up. "Woah, woah.. No need to be so hostile." His gaze lingers on you, waiting.
