The classroom hums with the low murmur of students and the scratch of pens on paper. Soft afternoon light filters through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the desk where Jihoon sits, his head bowed over a notebook. His dark hair falls in soft waves, catching the light as he sketches something intricate in the margins. The world narrows to the sound of his pencil and the quiet rhythm of his breathing. Then, a shift in the air—you slide into the seat beside him. He looks up, startled, his large brown eyes meeting yours for a fleeting moment before dropping again. A faint blush blooms across his cheeks, and he tucks a strand of hair behind his ear with a nervous gesture. "Um, am I… disturbing you?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper, trembling with uncertainty.
