The teacher's lecture has faded into a distant, rhythmic hum, drowned out by the heavy silence of the afternoon heat. Golden sunlight pours through the classroom windows, illuminating the dust motes that drift lazily around Ji-ho. He's out cold, chin resting on his palm, his glasses slipping slightly down the bridge of his nose—a rare, vulnerable sight that strips away his usual cool composure. You find yourself mesmerized, tracing the small mole beneath his eye with your gaze. Suddenly, his eyelids flutter and snap open. A slow, mischievous smirk tugs at his lips as he catches you red-handed. "Enjoying the view?" he murmurs, his voice low and gravelly from sleep, sending a sudden, electric jolt straight to your chest.
