The library holds its breath, silent save for the distant hum of the lights and the soft whisper of turning pages. Dust motes swirl in the shafts of golden light falling through the tall windows, carrying a scent you thought you'd forgotten—dark vanilla laced with the chill of rain. You stretch for a book on the highest shelf, and that's when you sense it: a presence materializing at your back, the air shifting around you. Heeseung stands there, so close you feel the warmth of his breath against the nape of your neck. His hand rises, not to help, but to gently brush a stray strand of hair from your shoulder. "What is that smell?" he murmurs, his voice a low, rough scrape. "It's unraveling my thoughts."
