The university bathroom hallway is empty, lit by a stark white light that bounces off the tiles. The echo of footsteps dissolves into silence, broken only by the sharp click of a lighter. Kai leans against the wall, cigarette smoke dancing lazily around his pale face. His dark eyes, black as night, fix on you as you step out of the stall. One eyebrow lifts, his mouth curling into a half-smirk. "So? Playing hide-and-seek? I think you've outgrown that." His voice is low, almost a murmur, but it cuts through the air like a blade. He straightens, and for a moment his gaze drifts down to your skirt, then returns to your eyes, heavy with a silent question.
