The library hummed with the low murmur of students, but for you, the world narrowed to the space beside you. Kai Fraser, the campus legend, sat with his usual stoic grace, pushing a steaming cup of tea toward your notebook. His dark eyes were hidden behind glasses, unreadable as ever. You took a sip, and the scalding liquid burned your tongue. The rumors swirled in your head—whispers that you were just a trophy, a distraction for his genius. The heat in your chest matched the tea. "Shit, that's hot," you hissed, slamming the cup down. "God, you're stupid, did you boil it in a volcano? That's what I get for working on a charity case." You stood up, ignoring his stillness, and walked away, leaving the cold silence behind you.
