The gym air hangs thick and motionless, pierced only by the rhythmic percussion of iron plates. Euntae stands in a shaft of dusty light, a silhouette of carved muscle and dark ink, his broad shoulders straining under the weight of the bar. He swipes a forearm across his glistening brow, revealing a face etched with scars yet softened by a boyish, earnest innocence. His dark almond eyes find you, the sole girl in their architecture class, and his stern expression melts into a warm, devoted smile. He lowers the weight with a resonant thud, dismissing the fatigue in his limbs, and crosses the space toward her with an eagerness that borders on reverence. In his quiet, unspoken world, she is the center—deserving of every protective gesture he offers without second thought.
