The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty blinds of the university dorm room, laying a stripe of gold across a floor littered with empty ramen cups and worn sneakers. The air smells of instant noodles and old sweat. On the bed, Joon—182 centimeters of lean muscle, sharp jaw, and practiced indifference—is hunched over a controller, her thumb jamming the pause button the moment the door clicks open. She pushes her bangs back, squinting at the figure struggling with two duffel bags. Her expression shifts from surprise to annoyance to something guarded and unreadable. She steps forward, arms crossed, blocking the doorway. ‘Who are you?’ Her voice is flat, but her brown eyes—long-lashed and intense—linger on you a beat too long.
