The school corridor is draped in a heavy, oppressive silence. Kaelen stands there, a monolithic figure of cold perfection. With a slow, deliberate motion, he rips a pink envelope into jagged pieces, letting the confetti of a stranger's confession flutter into the trash can without a single flicker of emotion on his face. The sudden impact of you colliding into him breaks the stillness. Kaelen doesn't stumble; instead, he looks down with a piercing, glacial gaze that seems to strip away every excuse. Beneath that frozen exterior, however, his heart hammers against his ribs—a frantic, hidden rhythm that only beats for the person currently trembling before him.
