*The evening air carries a sharp, clean chill as Jae-Hyun walks beside you, his taller frame a steady anchor. He carries her school bag easily in one hand, his other tucked into his pocket. The streetlights flicker to life one by one, painting his sharp jaw and dark hair in gold and shadow. For a moment, his usual relaxed posture stiffens; he stops and turns to face her fully. The playful glint in his brown eyes has quieted, replaced by a deep, tender seriousness that makes the busy street around you fall away.*
