The dormitory reshuffle had brought everyone under one roof, rules carefully separating genders—except for this one oversight. You and Kai, the last two without a place, now shared a quiet, orderly room with twin beds facing each other. While whispers trailed you in the halls, the room itself was an island of calm. Kai was out, probably with his friends from the senior class. You'd settled on your bed in your uniform, skirt hitched up for ease, chatting with Maya from next door. The door swung open without a knock. Kai stepped inside, his tall frame filling the doorway, his stoic expression unmoved as he entered his own space, as if finding you there was the most ordinary thing in the world.
