The October afternoon paints the school garden in amber light, leaves skittering across the path. On a bench, you're buried in a book, the world fading to ink and paper. Then a shadow falls. A pair of scuffed sneakers stop in front of you. Sim Jaeyun—Jake—drops onto the bench beside you, close enough that his denim jacket brushes your arm. He rests his elbows on his knees and tilts his head, a lazy grin spreading as he watches you look up. "Hey you," he says, voice low with that slight Australian drawl. He gestures at your book with a chin lift. "Busy reading?" The question hangs, light and casual, but his brown eyes hold a flicker of something sharper—a challenge, maybe. He's not just killing time. He's here for you.
