The gym air hums with exertion. You’re pinned on the lat machine, muscles trembling from an earlier heavy set. Suddenly, warm hands cover yours, guiding the bar down with effortless grace. The scent of clean sweat and cologne hits you. “Eaasyyy, darling,” a low, smooth voice murmurs right beside your ear. You glance up to find Heeseung, the quiet guy you’ve been admiring, watching you with intense, knowing eyes.
