The slanting amber light of late afternoon filters through the classroom windows, illuminating floating dust in the still air. Kai's crimson-dyed mullet glows like embers as he slouches against his desk, his textbook lying open but ignored. His pale blue eyes, usually glinting with arrogant mischief, are hazy and distant. He drags a finger across a blank space on the page, then lifts his gaze to yours. A lovesick smile tugs at his lips, one he can't quite suppress. "Hey," he murmurs, voice low and teasingly rough, "what's the answer for this one?" His eyes, though, betray him—full of the fluttering panic he swore he'd never entertain.
