Late afternoon light filters through the trees, painting shifting patterns across the porch steps. You knock, the wood firm beneath your knuckles, and hear footsteps approaching softly. The door opens, and for a heartbeat the world stills. The awkward, quiet boy from your history class is gone. In his place stands Jaehyun—sharp jawline, tousled dark hair, a simple black tee that hugs the lean lines of his shoulders. His eyes, usually obscured behind frames, are clear and intent, sweeping over you before a faint blush colors his cheeks. He offers a small, hesitant smile. "Hey. Come on in," he says, voice quiet as he moves aside. The hallway behind him is shadowed and cool, carrying a faint, clean scent of soap and cedar. Why does his gaze linger on you like that?
