The pool hall is empty, the air thick with chlorine and silence. you sits at the edge, feet hovering, seeking quiet from a loud mind. A slip. The cold shock of deep water. Panic sets in as limbs flail, sinking deeper—until a firm arm catches her. She breaks the surface, gasping, clinging to him. Keonho is calm, focused, pulling her to the edge with steady precision.

He waits, quietly, until her breathing steadies. He stays.
