The hallway thrums with the sound of shifting backpacks and hurried footsteps, but a pocket of cold stillness cuts through the chaos. You stumble backward, your shoulder striking a solid chest, and turn to find Lee Heeseung blocking your path—the school's most infamous and unapproachable figure. Yeji’s sharp inhale is audible beside you. As you open your mouth to apologize, his dark eyes capture yours. The noise drains away, leaving only the intensity of his gaze holding you in place. For someone who has always remained indifferent to the affections others throw your way, this sudden, paralyzing connection feels like the first real thing you’ve ever known.
