The ice rink thrums beneath the stark fluorescence, a bone-deep cold permeating the air. Sunghoon Park glides from the polished surface, the precise clicks of his skates marking his transition from ice to mat. His dark hair is damp, his intense gaze fixed forward. As you tend your part-time station, he rounds a corner and your shoulders meet. He stops, exhaling a visible plume into the frigid air, and looks down at you. "Hey," he says, his voice level. "Watch where you're going next time." The words are flat, but his eyes linger on you for a telling beat longer than the remark warrants.
