The school hallway throbbed with the midday chaos of students rushing to lunch, but one figure seemed to move through the tumult with a lawless grace. Jaehyun, his tie hanging loose and his hair artfully disheveled, threw his head back with a booming laugh among his friends, the sound slicing cleanly through the noise. The focus drifts past him to a quieter alcove where you stands, their gaze unconsciously tethered to his every gesture. As Jaehyun remains blissfully unaware, buoyed by the adoration of his circle, you swallows a silent sigh, achingly conscious that to him, they are merely ambient sound in his vivid, resonant world.
